A set of millstones
The miller empties the bags of grain into the hopper above the millstones.
The grain runs slowly into the "eye of the stone" of the upper revolving stone
along the "shaking shoe" (which gives the characteristic noise imitated in the
"klippklapp" of the folksong "Es klappert die Muehle am rauschenden Bach").
The first two sets of millstones produce either food flour for cattle or stone-ground
meal for human consumption which still contains all particles from fine flour to bran.
