2196. TYE, JOHN, Lincoln.

Double mill fitted with two pairs, French stones, governors.

The exhibitor manufactures portable and fixed corn- grinding mills, flour-dressing machines, with wood and iron cylinders; silk machines, for dressing flour; improved barley mills, for making pearl barley for agricultural purposes; smut machines, French burr stones, etc.; and deals in Derbyshire greystones, mill chisels, etc.

He also constructs and erects waterwheels in the most approved manner.

The following engraving represents a fixed corn-grinding mill on a metal frame, with 2 pairs of French stones, 4 ft. diameter, and governors attached for regulating the stones when at work, which makes it easy to manage.

It offers an advantage over any other, as it is portable, and can be set to work without being fixed to the walls, or fastened to the floors of a building. It is so constructed that it can be driven either by steam, wind, or water power.

J. Tye's portable and fixed corn-grinding mills are offered to the public, as unrivalled in the combination of advantages which they possess. For quality of material, strength of construction, high finish, and economy of working, they successfully maintain the first rank. They are admirably adapted for the foreign trade.

In addition to several prizes and medals, J. Tye has received a great quantity of flattering testimonials, both from home and abroad, testifying to the superiority of his mills.

Illustrated and priced catalogues can be had on application at the Works.
