Cast iron frame holding 2 steel crushing rollers with cogged wheels leading onto driving shaft; with wooden platform; makers plate on both sides.

Parts include, 1 - 2 cast sides connected by 2 rods at top (DSCF7339, 7340, 7343 - 7345, 7347, 7349, 7350, 7364); 2 + 3 - 2 rods that fit between the cast sides towards the bottom (DSCF7320); 4 - roller with 18 tooth cog on end of shaft protruding from one end (DSCF7316 - 7318); 5 - roller with 24 tooth cog (DSCF7391, 7393, 7394); 6-9 - 2 rectangular cast parts that bolt to the cast sides to hold the bearings for the rollers in position, one is broken and in 3 pieces (DSCF7324, 7325); 10 + 11 - wooden board on iron brackets, one of the brackets is detached, it is unclear how this part fixes to the crushing mill but it was found on top of it (DSCF7327 - 7329, 7335, 7337); 12 + 13 - 2x rectangular metal plates hanging from a bar on either end of which is attached at an angle a shorter length of iron bar with two holes in it, one of these parts was found hanging between the cast sides (see DSCF7343), the plate may clean the rotating rollers (DSCF7321, 7322) Two of the rods have had their flanges filed flat. One of these rods is fitted between the cast sides at the top and it appears as if the alteration was made to allow the rectangular metal plate (pts 12 + 13) to be fitted below the plate at an angle above where the rod is located . The other altered rod is detached, if the reason for this alteration is correct the the rods have not been put back from whence they came. No nuts and bolts where found with the mill part but they were presumably retained and will probably be found with the parts that make up F82.13.4 [RP; 03/05/2007]
