Model, made to the scale of 1.25 inch to a foot, of a horizontal mill, for crushing sugar canes. Instead of three, the usual number, this mill has five rollers, which are so arranged that the canes, in passing once through the mill, are pressed four times, whereas in a single passage through one of the three-rollered mills they are pressed but twice. The two upper rollers of the mill are held down by six bolts, the lower ends of which go through, and are secured to two wooden spring beams, so that, in the event of the rollers being subjected to any extraordinary strain, the spring-beams yield, and prevent the mill from being damaged.
