Nuair nach bitheadh a’ BHROG direach os coinn [sic] SUIL na cloiche, chuirte caoran monach ann an toinneamh ball na TREABHAILT gus a ghiorachadh. Roth – the propeller had an iron bolt protruding from the top and from the bottom. The upper bolt was named DEALGAN. The DEALGAN carried a crossbar named Dual which fitted into a recess in the upper millstone and thus was conveyed the power which made the stone revolve. The nether bolt was named TORGHAN. The point of the TORGHAN fitted in a recess in an iron plate which was fastened on the ledger-beam (SAIL-BHUINN). This plate named LUNN had spare recesses into which in turn the torghan was fitted when the recess in use wore through the ledger-beam, (SAIL-BHUINN) was attached by the SAIL DHIREACH to the lightening beam (SAIL AOTROMACHAIDH). The raising or lowering of the SAIL AOTROMACHAIDH raised or lowered the upper stone to give a rough or fine grind.
