The tunnel will contain 125 lbs. of lead and the oil necessary to mix it. Within the tunnel is a mixing apparatus running independently of the grinding part, and ending in a worm which crowds the paint down between the grinding plates, keeping them constantly fed, however stiff the paint may be. The dry paint and oil, therefore, being thrown into the tun- nel, is mixed, fed to the grinding plates, and ground, at one operation. It will grind any color, stiff or thin, in oil or water, and may be used as a mixer for other mills. One horse power is amply sufficient to drive it at a speed of 200 revolutions a minute, and usually not half that power is required after the plates become warm. It will mix and grind 3,000 lbs. of white lead per diem, as stiff and fine as the average lead of commerce. If ground veri/ fine, this quantity will Fig. 278. No. 4. of course be proportionally reduced. When a change of color is to be made, the mill can be taken apart, cleaned, and put together again in a very few minutes. For such parties as have but a limited amount of power, or do not wish to invest much in grinding apparatus, this mill is peculiarly adapted; while in very large establishments, where stone mills are in use, it will be found a useful Pig Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Mapes, Charles Victor, 1836-1916.
