We had a feed grinder type mill that was, in 1954, quite up-to-date.

The incoming feed was held within the steel case and exposed to the swinging blades until the particles were small enough to pass through a screen and then to a blower which transported the ground particles into a feed mixer where other ingredients could be added. Coarse screens were used for cow feed and fine screens were used for poultry and pig feed. Almost trouble free except, when the time came, the hammers had to be either reversed or changed due to wear. There were so many of them that it took 3 or 4 hours to do.
