The Young Mill-Wright and Miller's Guide by Oliver Evans, 2004 reprint

Description: This is the reprint of a volume that Oliver Evans wrote in 1834. From the back cover: "Writing in an era when many tradesmen had limited education, the author undertakes to teach the reader all that is necessary to build and run water-powered grain mills and saw mills. He starts with physics, including the mechanical advantage of basic tools, the effect of friction, and all basics that a mill operator of the day needed. He goes on to deal with water wheels, the construction of a mill for efficiency and economy, maintenance of millstones, and the dozens of other considerations integral to operating mills. The breadth and depth of material is remarkable. . ." 392 pages, + appendices
