In geared mills, pay particular attention to the adjustment _Descriptive Pamphlet of the Richmond Mill Furnishing Works All sizes of mill stones and complete grinding and bolting combined husk or portable flouring mills, portable corn and feed mills; smut and separating machines; zigzag and oat separators, dustless separators, warehouse separators, water wheels; mill shafting; pulleys; spur and bevel, iron and core, gearing....

wheels. If they are _too deep or not deep enough_ in gear, they will not

run so smoothly and will cut out. As the wooden cogs wear, in time a

shoulder will be formed on them by the iron cogs in the pinion. In order

to obviate the tremble or rough running that this shoulder would cause,

it should be trimmed off from time to time. Grease the cogs with tallow,

and see observations on keeping stones in order, under head of “Setting

up and Starting.”

WE REQUEST as a favor of any of those using our machinery, mills, bolts,

&c., to inform us if they are not working satisfactorily; in such a

case, state plainly as you can in what particular, as we will take

pleasure in correcting the defect or giving advice concerning it. Some

of our mills and mill stones that have been used constantly for 8 to 12

years may require some changes, such as re-setting the irons, improving

the dress, &c., that would make them as good as new; when written to or

interviewed on the subject, will state to the best of our ability what

should be done.

In Ordering, or when a Correct estimate of Cost is Wanted,

It will be quite a help both to our customers and to ourselves to

observe the points mentioned below. A plain statement of the situation

and what is wanted, together with a rough sketch will often save much

delay and trouble.

1st. Give location of Mill, _i. e._, its relation to road, railway, and

power; where it is most convenient to receive grist work and where

merchant grain.

2d. State size of mill house; height of stories from floor to floor;

pitch of roof, and which way comb of house runs; which way the joist and

timbers of the mill run, and their size.

3d. If there is a basement under the grinding floor, and how high.

4th. If water power is to be used, state size and kind of water wheel

and its speed. If a turbine wheel, give height of head, which way wheel

runs, and location of mill-house.

5th. If the power has not been improved, state the fall that can be

obtained, and give the amount of water in depth and width running over a

weir. See “Measurement of Water in a Stream.”

6th. If the power used is steam, give the diameter of cylinder and

length of stroke of engine; number of revolutions per minute made by

engine; diameter and width of face of band wheel on engine; which way

the engine runs--whether top of band wheel runs to or from the mills.

7th. Make a sketch showing the location of engine bed plate and shaft to

the mills.

8th. State whether the mills are wanted to run with or against the sun.

We build them to run with the sun unless otherwise ordered.

9th. Name the place to which the machinery is to be shipped and, if

thought best, by what route. It often happens that we can judge best the

way to ship. Also, your name and post office plainly and in full.

We deliver our goods on board cars at the proper depot here, free of

charge, and take a contracted through receipt with rate of freight

stated in it, and send to the purchaser, thus guarding our customers

against over-charges or high rates of freight. For 5 per cent. added to

our prices, we will pre-pay freight on one half and full car load lots

to Buffalo, Philadelphia, Baltimore, St. Louis, Quincy, Rock Island and

Memphis. 3 per cent. will cover it to Chicago, Pittsburgh, Toledo,

Louisville and Evansville. On boat or cars at any depot in Cincinnati we

will pre-pay freight at 10 cents per 100 lbs., (weights are given on

list.) Great care is taken to inclose such parts of our supplies and

mills when necessary in strong boxes, iron bound at the corners, so that

they can be conveyed safely to any part of the world.

Setting up and Starting.

We have often found it to the advantage of our customers to have one of

our own men assist in _setting up and starting_. Their experience and

familiarity with our machinery enables them to expedite the setting up.

They are employed on this important part of our work constantly. Our

charges for their services are reasonable. In some of the far western

States we have skilled mill-wrights for this purpose, thus saving time

and expense to the purchaser. From drafts and explanations we send (when

requested to do so) with our mill work and mills, mill-wrights can

generally succeed in giving good satisfaction.

The burrs of all our mills are faced true and furrowed, but do not have

as smooth a grinding or flouring face as is necessary for flouring

wheat. A few days work by the miller with pick and rub stone is of great

advantage. To do this important work _correctly_ requires one skilled in

the use of the red staff, with a good true iron proof staff close at

hand. We are sorry to be compelled to say that the millers are few that

know how to correctly handle the red staff on the face of a mill stone.

It is a difficult matter to explain the manner of doing it without a

personal interview and the implements in readiness. However, we are

ready to give on this point of _great importance_ all the information we

can by sketches and writing.

[Illustration: View of Eureka Smutter.

(See following page.)]

[Illustration: Sectional View.]

[Illustration: This Cut Represents either size Machine driven from the

Top when so required.]

Some of the Reasons why the Eureka Should be used in preference to any

other Smut and Separating Machine now offered for Sale:

1st. The scourer used in the Eureka is constructed of the best imported

_cast sheet_ steel, manufactured and rolled expressly for this purpose.

The scouring is done on an entire smooth surface, and by direct action

on the grain, thoroughly scours and polishes the berry without waste,

and at the same time retains its scouring qualities until the scouring

case is entirely worn out. As the beaters or fan blades of the revolving

scouring cylinders are chilled cast-iron, they will last for years

without perceptible wear, and when the steel case is worn out by severe

friction of the grain, can be replaced at a small expense. All machines

are so strongly and permanently built, and the revolving cylinder so

perfectly balanced, that they will, with ordinary care, last for years,

with the small additional expense of renewing the scouring case, once in

from three to five or eight years, as the case may be.

2d. For its entire reliability in cleaning the worst samples of smutty

wheat; the preliminary or first separator is attached to all the No. 0,

1, 2 and 3 Ordinary sizes, which removes smut balls, dust, chaff, chess

or cheat, and light and worthless grains, before the wheat goes to the

scourer. As the scourer is thoroughly ventilated, supplied by air at the

bottom, and discharging the smut and dust loosened from the grain during

the process of scouring, through the perforations of the scouring case,

and the fan at the same time drawing a strong current of air through the

revolving cylinder, there is no possibility of the grain coming in

contact with smut and dust during the process of scouring. Most of the

so-called close scouring machines that are now being urged upon millers

are destitute of this important principle, and hence worthless.

3d. The Eureka, so far as we know, is the only machine that has a

perfect shoe attachment, and where the machine is the best known is

always invariably ordered. It requires little or no attention, being

driven by a belt from main shaft of the machine and a spring pitman; it

makes no noise, and with the improved double screen, takes out more

headings, straw joints, rat filth, corn and oats, than can possibly be

taken out with the rolling screen, while the cockle screen takes out

cockle, sand, etc., and we earnestly advise all persons ordering the No.

0, 1 or 2 machines, to order the shoe in all cases. It is now very

seldom that we have an order for either of the three sized machines

above referred to without the shoe, and in nine cases out of ten when

machines are so ordered, the shoe is afterwards ordered, thereby causing

extra expense and trouble.

The last reason we shall give is that this is, in all respects, the best

wheat cleaning machine in the world; this to millers is an important

consideration, and cannot well be overlooked.

In Ordering Smut Machines,

First, decide the size or number of machine wanted, and in deciding

this, it will be well to remember that the machines will do all claimed

for them. If a machine is wanted to clean twenty-five bushels per hour,

a No. 1 machine, run to the motion designed for it, will do it much

better than a No. 2, and either size machine run to the motion and fed

to the full capacity, will do much better work than if run at a less

motion and with a less feed. Some have thought that if a No. 3 machine,

for instance, will clean one hundred bushels per hour well, that it will

clean sixty bushels better. This is a mistake.

Warranty.

All machines are warranted to be built of the very best material and

perfect in all their parts, and any defect in the material or

construction will be made good to the purchaser without charge; and

further, to give entire satisfaction, when put up and run according to

directions attached to all machines.

Terms.

When the cash is remitted with the order, or within thirty days from

date of shipment, a discount of five per cent. will be allowed, or list

price at the end of ninety days. If longer time is required, approved

notes on interest after ninety days from date of shipment, payable in

bank, will be required.

DUSTLESS OAT SEPARATOR AND ZIGZAG.

With two or four Wheat Riddles and Cockle Riddle.

Patented April 9, 1861; Re-issued, April 19, 1871.

[Illustration]

This Machine is named “Dustless Separator,” because the _Dust_ is

separated from the wheat, conveyed out of the mill, and deposited in a

dust room, before the grain passes to the riddles; the wheat and

screenings are left free from dust.

Its operation is as follows:--The grain enters the Machine at the

hopper, which is shown, where it receives the _first_ blast; then passes

through two to four wheat riddles in succession, and over a cockle

riddle into the _second_ blast. The riddles deposit oats, sticks, weeds,

ergot, rat-balls, etc., in suitable spouts; the heavy screenings fall

into a hopper and are spouted off. This Machine has none but _suction

blasts_, and is offered to the milling community as a _first-class

Separator_.

FLOUR PACKERS.

MATTISON’, TAGGART’ and other well known Packers, ready for shipment

on short notice. For some situations one kind may suit better than

another, and when we know the purpose it is designed for can advise

which would suit best. The advantages of them are, that they are ready

for use when shipped by merely setting up and attaching power, and

suited to a variety of work in the packing line. The MATTISON kind will

pack in barrels or paper sacks of different sizes.

When a cheap Packer is wanted we have the _Portable Conical Roller Flour

Packer_.

HUNTLEY & HOLCOMB’ EXCELSIOR BRAN DUSTER.

ADJUSTABLE WHILE RUNNING.

[Illustration]

This cut shows the Duster as completed, with shoe attached, with part of

the outer case and part of the wire gauze cylinder removed, to show the

interior of the Machine. The lower section of the outside case

containing the spouts never being removed after once set up in the mill;

the shoe can be turned to any position required, by turning the top

plate with it which can be done by slacking the tie rods that bind all

together.

The manufacturers have recently improved their already celebrated and

widely-known Machine. They say in their latest circular, “We have had

thirteen years experience on Bran Dusters, and nearly eleven years of

the time on our present Machine, and think we understand the wants of

Millers in this line perfectly. Our aim has been to make as perfect a

Duster as could be made, and think we now have a perfect one to offer

the milling public.

“Ours is a vertical Machine and so constructed that it can be run either

with or against the sun, as may be required.

“The Wire-cloth Cylinder is made in halves, and can be unbolted and

taken out one-half at a time, and can be turned around for examination

_on all sides_ while the Machine is running.

“We put on all sizes, a shoe to throw off dough balls or any foreign

substance that would injure the wire-cloth, making it a perfect Machine

without any other device than the Machine itself.

“We have had Machines running side by side with all the other kinds of

Dusters and have always beaten them in quantity and quality of flour,

and are ready at any time to put one to a test with any other Machine.

“This Machine has a Revolving Cylinder of pure Bristol Brushes and has

nothing but the Brush Cylinder to drive, making it run extremely light,

requiring less than one-half of one-horse power to drive the largest

sized Machines.

“There are now over seven hundred of them running, and as far as we know

all are giving perfect satisfaction, and we defy any man to show us

where one has been superseded by any other Machine; further, we will say

that we have put our Machine in place of several other kinds, and have

given satisfaction in all cases where others have failed. We find in

other Circulars statements that their Machines will make ten per cent.

of flour; _we say this is exaggerated_; we have made five and one-fourth

per cent., and say this is more than any other Duster can do with a fair

test. We do not make statements that are exaggerated, but only such as

we are willing to guarantee.

“For cleaning Cracked Wheat, Pearl Barley, and all this class of

material, there is no better Machine, and we can give the best of

testimonials of their work on this kind of material.”

FRENCH BURR FARM AND PLANTATION MILL.

Patented August 1st, 1871.

[Illustration]

This mill has been built by us and in use for a number of years, and in

all cases has proven itself worthy of the reputation it has obtained.

The changes made within the last two years make it the best investment

of money that can be made by any one wanting a cheap mill. It is

complete in itself, not requiring any hangers, &c., to set it in

operation, and can be put to work without an experienced mechanic. In

its structure we have not been sparing in the material necessary to make

every part strong and durable. They will bear to be continually used

with a strong power without any part yielding in the least. The

objections to most mills of this class is caused by their being put up

in soft wood frames, and castings of frail dimensions, the consequence

being that the spindle and important parts soon get out of place. To

those having any kind of light power the smaller sizes are well adapted,

and in every situation where they have been properly placed their

satisfactory working has been exemplified and will be guaranteed by us.

It will grind middlings or minerals, all kinds of feed and make good

family meal.

The above cut is a fair representation of the mill; it is simple, and

has less parts than any other mill in the market. It has a horizontal

steel spindle running in anti-friction metal bearings, and a steel seat

at its end to receive the pressure of the burrs in grinding.

The runner is placed in an iron back and rigidly keyed to the spindle.

The bed stone is so arranged as to be self-adjusting. The mill cannot

get out of tram, since when left at liberty it will adjust itself into

perfect tram. The bed stone is held up to its place in grinding by a

stiff rubber spring, so as to enable it to yield in case any hard

substance enters between the burrs, thus obviating the danger of

breakage, and yet not permitting the stones to yield or press apart in

grinding ordinary substances. The spindle being horizontal this mill can

be driven directly from an engine, horse-power, or line-shaft. One great

item of superiority is that a strong or light power may be used and the

mill will grind in proportion, and will do good work at the same time.

_Every mill warranted._

CORN AND COB CRUSHER, AND GRINDER.

[Illustration]

Chill Hardened Corn and Cob Cracker, Bone and Bark Mill.

They are made of the best chill hardened iron, well fitted, and are

undoubtedly the best thing now made for the purpose, outwearing, in some

instances, three of the common kind. They can be set up in any kind of a

building, sometimes to the side on two strong brackets, or on any

suitable frame. It has a tight bottom and side spout, the power can be

applied at either the upper or lower end of spindles, or it can be run

with horizontal shaft by belt and gear. Speed from 160 to 175

revolutions per minute. Capacity from 30 to 60 bushels corn per hour,

depending upon speed, power, and condition of corn.

They can be furnished complete with a large iron hopper, and set on a

frame, with gearing, shaft, tight and loose pulley attached if so

ordered.

PATENT CENTRIFUGAL CORN SHELLER AND CLEANER.

[Illustration]

_Clean the Shelled Corn Perfectly. Shell each Ear Separately. Require no

Self-Feeders. They shell Clean. Do not Break the Cobs. Do not waste the

Corn._

The above is a cut of our No. 1 Centrifugal Corn Sheller and Cleaner.

The operation of this Sheller is as follows:

The ears of corn are _shoveled direct into the Sheller_, and fall

on to the center of a flat Perforated Shelling Wheel where they are

thrown by centrifugal force towards the outside, but being caught

by guides held down by a spring plate working between them are, “by

the action of the wheel,” made to revolve, the corn shelled off,

and the cobs forced off the wheel _endwise and without being

broken_, fall on the Cob Carrier, and are carried away from the

Sheller; while the shelled corn passes through the Cob Carrier to

the Shaker, and thence to the Conveyor, into the Elevator, when it

is raised into bags, wagons or cars.

_In cleaning the shelled corn they cannot be excelled._ In addition to

our Cob Carrier, we have a Shaker with a sieve made of perforated iron,

which is preferable to a wire sieve, as no silks will adhere to and clog

it. While falling on and passing through the Shaker, the grain is

subjected to a strong blast from the fan, which thoroughly cleans it of

all chaff, pieces of cobs, dirt, etc., leaving it in prime order for

market.

Our No. 1 will shell and clean from 700 to 1200 bushels of shelled corn

per day, with two to four horse power.

THE VETERAN.

[Illustration: Two-Hole Separating Sheller.]

For these we have a steady demand at all times of the year, and send

them to all parts of the country.

They do not operate in the loose rattling way of ordinary Two-Hole Hand

Shellers, got up to sell cheap, but work as closely and effectively as

any of the most effective Power Shellers; and no hand sheller has been

so much relied on for regular business as the Veteran.

The frames are made of the best and most thoroughly seasoned hard wood,

framed as closely as the joints can be driven together, and are “solid

as rock.” The shafts, shelling wheels, boxes, journals, etc., are on the

same scale of strength and close fitting.

They have the revolving wire cob carrier for separating the cobs from

the shelled corn, and when so ordered, they can be fitted with a band

wheel for connecting with power, and a feed table, as shown in the cut,

thus making a small and convenient power sheller.

THE CADET.

[Illustration: Single or One-Hole Hand Sheller.]

It is strong framed: the frame being of the best seasoned hard wood,

capped with iron. Has the same character of shelling wheels as the power

shellers, bored true and fitted on shafts which are turned full length

and held in strong and durable boxes; has a fine adjustment of spout

irons and springs.

_It separates the Cobs from the Shelled Corn, and has a Fan for Cleaning

the Grain._

WRIGHT’ PEARL HOMINY MILL.

[Illustration]

_Simplicity in Operation--Economy in Power--No Dust--No Dirt--Regular

Feed and Discharge._

In presenting this Machine to the millers of this country the

manufacturers say: “We feel confident that we fill a desideratum long

felt in milling circles, that is, a practical horizontal mill, having

the prominent features of economy in power, simplicity in operation,

cleanliness, and the perfect manner in which it does its work, yielding

more hominy from the corn than any other mill in use. The grain needs no

soaking or steaming, but can be worked dry as well as when damp. The

hominy and feed are separated before leaving the mill, the hominy

running out on a shaking screen where the fine is separated from the

coarse, leaving it in a perfect condition for market. The feed is

deposited on the opposite side. The mechanical construction of this

machine is first-class, and its durability and simplicity is unequaled

by any other known mill. It is compact; the space it occupies does not

exceed two by three feet square. The skill of a practical miller is not

required to run it, as any one, however limited their knowledge of

machinery may be, can operate it successfully.

“Our long experience in the manufacture of hominy and Hominy Mills

enables us to say confidently that we can now offer a machine
