Meule en grès
Description
un axe cylindrique horizontal maintient à l’une de ses extrémités une grande poulie circulaire en bois, tandis qu’il traverse le centre d’une meule en grès circulaire. Cet axe repose sur 2 barres de fer horizontales perpendiculaires à l’axe, qui sont d’une part chacune soutenues par un pied métallique incliné du côté du mur, reposant sur le sol. La meule est entre les 2 barres horizontales. De chaque côté de la meule, tenue dans une rainure faite dans le mur et reposant sur chaque barre. Une tôle verticale est fixée. Un fer en “U” est boulonné sur l’extrémité des 2 barres horizontales devant la meule, une planche de bois y est vissée, elle est verticale, inclinée en direction de la base de la meule, repose sur 2 petits pieds, et son extrémité supérieure est renforcée à l’aide de pièces de bois clouées de chaque côté de la planche et sur son extrémité. L’une de ces pièces est rectangulaire, l’autre est demi-prismatique (cette dernière est face à la meule).
