handset mill

[rotarian]

Was down to smyrna mills looking at a mill. the lads there weren't sure what type it was. It had a circular shaped figure wheel on it. any ideas as to what type it is. I went to log on this morning apparently no such username existed. WHY?

Rotarian, give us somemore clues to go by,and possibly some pictures.Years ago almost every local foundry produced a sawmill ,make and break engine or boath.These mills were very simular some even used well known mill parts for patterns.Frank C.

Stupid me, fergot to take camera for some shots, but then i'd have to learn to post them on FF. No post dogs on it nor axles. Of all pictures of old carriages I've seen, none of them had a figure wheel like this one on it.
