An old engraving of an ‘emigrant mill’, designed to be used by American pioneer settlers on the trails west. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. The hand-operated mill was clamped to a waggon. The waggon train and tents at a campsite are seen in the background. A mill is a device that breaks solid materials into smaller pieces by grinding, crushing, or cutting.
