Hi,
The mill, well I know very little about it.
It's made by a firm called Dening (Chard in Somerset), it's a roller mill for rolling cereals (eg. porridge oats). You load the grain into the hopper and its squashed between the rollers.
The serial number contains 1965 which makes me think it dates from then.
My research so far has drawn a blank, the firm closed (in the mid '60s?) and left no trace of their roller mills.
The mill itself hasn't been modified, but I think the motor might have been changed at some time. The reason I say this is that the mill has a flat belt drive pulley and the motor has a v-pulley with 3 v-belts running on the flat pulley, a bit unconventional!.
There is an adjustable mount for the motor, this is part of the original casting, so it was made to be driven from an electric motor (as well as from a tractor PTO drive pulley?).
The Newman motor that we've been discussing here has its connection box facing down making it difficult to wire up, I doubt whether this would be part of the original design. Surely they would have chosen a motor format with easier access to the connection box?
That's about it.
