Explanation of Function; Comments on Flywheels; Savings (Workforce, Costs or Time); Assertion of Novelty |
| Commentary : |
This kind of mill is said to grind as much grain as two common wind- or watermills. It is said that the initial force comes from the movement of the big (fly-)wheel (primo motus vim ex rota grandiori commota). |
