Section 13.—CRUSHING, GRINDING, AND DISINTEGRATING.

[250]. Stamp mill, generally arranged in a battery of 4 or 6, for gold and other ores.

[251]. Stone-breaker, with chilled iron jaw faces and toggle or knapping motion. See Blake’s, H. R. Marsden’s, and other modifications in common use.

[252]. Double edge-runners. Sometimes driven below. In some designs the rollers revolve, and in others the pan revolves and the roller shaft is stationary.

[253]. Lucop’s patent centrifugal pulveriser.

[254]. Carr’s patent disintegrator. In this machine, each ring of bars is driven at a high speed in opposite directions inside a casing, the material being broken by the rapidity and intensity of the blows it receives.

[255]. Horizontal centrifugal roller mill. The material is crushed between the rollers and the shrouding of the pan by the centrifugal force of the rollers, which are suspended from a crosshead.

[256]. Cone roller mill, with vertical spindle.

[257]. Cone roller mill, with horizontal spindle and conical pan.

[Larger plate.]

[258]. Enclosed cone roller mill, with horizontal spindle and spirally grooved roller and casing.

[259]. Toothed sector mill.

[260]. Conical edge runner and pan.

[261]. Ordinary flour mill. The material is fed in the centre, passes between the stones, and falls out into the outer casing.

[262]. Rattle barrel, for cleaning and burnishing articles by mutual attrition; sand or emery is sometimes used to assist the process.

[263]. Ball and pan mill, for crushing ores, &c. The balls are carried round by a cross arm fixed to the central spindle.

[264]. Inclined ball and pan mill.

[265]. Oscillating mill.

[266]. Drum and roller revolving mill.

[267]. Cradle and roller mill.

[268]. Cone disc mill; the cones being inclined axially to one another, the material is crushed at the lower side of the cones.

[269]. Another form of stone breaker with toggle motion.

[270]. Horizontal cone plate mill.

[271]. Revolving stamp and pan mill for ores.

[272]. Vertical cone mill.

[273]. Revolving pan and ball mill.

[274]. Planishing discs for accurately rounding iron bars. See the patent rolled shafting in use, manufactured by the Kirkstall Forge Co. and others.

[275]. Vertical cone grinding and crushing mill. The vertical shaft has an eccentric motion at the footstep, giving a swaying rotatory motion to the grinding cone.

[276]. Crushing rollers with spring bearing.
