wooden frame ; it is led from a hopper, the apples passing 
through the first pair of rollers, which are made of hard wood, 
with iron teeth, so as to break the apples, which fall next between 
a pair of stone rollers set close enough to break the kernels, and 
from these the pulp drops into a trough placed beneath to 
receive it. 
Mr. Latchem, of Hereford, has also paid considerable attention 
to the construction of these mills, and has taken out a patent for

steel teeth fitted into one roller, and working through other steel 
teeth on a fixed plate, partly on the same principle as a curd-mill. 
The fruit, after passing this " chewer," is ground between a pair 
of stone rollers, as before described. 
The pulp is removed from this trough to the press, which con-
