An attachment to giind-ing-mills to indicate that the grist has about runout of the hopper. Mills have been burnt by theheat and .sjjarks generated by the stones when run-ning empty, and several devices have been patented MILLINET. 1441 MILLING-MACHINE. to turn off the jiower and stop the machinery whenthe grist is expended. Other patents have beengranted for arrangements by whieh timely notice isgiven of the fact that the hopper is nearly empty. In the , a ])late hinged to the side of thehopper is lield down by the grist until the latter isabout expended. The iilate tlien rises, and its at-tached cord allows a stud to drop so as to be struck Fig. Taylors Mill-IIoppfr Alarm. by a projection on the stone at each revolution of tlielatter. Tliis gives a rapid oscillation to the clapiper,and sounds the alarm which announces that thegrist is nearly expended. In anotlier case, a bell is so arranged within thehopper that when surroiiniUd by the gi-ain it is heldstationary, but when nncovered is caused to ring bythe tremulous motioir of the hopper. The grainrests upon a float hinged near tire bottom of thehopper. When the grain is about expended thefloat is raised by a weiglitcd lever, and the .spout ofan upper hopper is opened to supply the lower onewitli grain. Milli-net. A machine-made net.
