Description

This hammermill was manufactured by Doll et Cie in Germany around 1900 to 1920. It was intended to be powered by a steam engine. When powered, the windmill turns, which results in the metal hammers moving up and down through a pulley system that is connected to the windmill. The structure is made of pressed steel.
