Description:
Close up photograph of the crown wheel at Pontys Mill, showing the bevel gear and right-hand lay shaft. The cam lever arrangement in the foreground allowed the miller to engage and disengage the drive by raising or lowering the bevel gear while the mill was running. The crown wheel is unusual in having two concentric gear rings, driving two independent lay shafts.
Observations:
None
