Scale 8 feet to an inch. 
About 26 years ago Mr. Coleman, of Chaxhill, Westbury-on- 
Severn, commenced making an improved cider-mill and press, 
which could act either as a fixture or a portable mill. (See 
No. 3.) It was found that the cider thus made fined better, 
and the process was also more expeditious. These advantages, 
together with the cost of keeping the old kind of mills in 
repair, which landlords were unwilling to undertake, led to their 
being superseded, as thev wore out, by Coleman's or a similar 
mill.
