Millstones
Image from proof plateIn the dexter base of this Square are erected two Mill stones one by the other.
Ink of a millstone
LVII. He beareth the Ink of a Mill-stone
in Bend and a Mill Wheel, or a Clock
Wheel.
This and the succeeding Inke of a Mill being
things of length cannot supply the whole contenant of
the Escochion, therefore are very often removed to and
fro therein, according to pleasure, and serve in place of
a Bend, a Pale, or a Fess between other Charges.
Mill wheel
There is some difference between a Water Mill
Wheel, and a Clock Wheel, the first having many
Spokes to make it strong and firm, whereas the latter
being all Steel, Iron, or Brass, hath never more than
four, which stand directly cross in the middle of the
circumference of them, whose Nave is generally square,
see numb.9. and squares at the joining to the out-rim,
as numb.169.
Ink of a millstone
Image from proof plateLVIII. This is another form of drawing the Inke of a Mill-stone. Millers term it in English a Bran-dret or Mill Rinde.
Overshot water mill
LIX. He beareth the Wheel of an Over
shot Water Mill.
There is a great difference between the Wheel of an Over-shot Mill, and an Under-shot Wheel; the first having the Ladles of the Wheel within the Rim, and made close like so many Wooden Troughs fixed about to retain the Water, by the weight whereof it is forced about. But the under-shot Wheel hath the Ladles or Scopes, set on the out side or top of the Rim of the Wheel and stands open as all the Spokes and Fallows of the Wheel do; so that in short, one is a close Wheel, and the other an open Wheel.
Ink of a millstone
Image from proof plateLX. He beareth a Ferre de Moline Nowy (or rounded). This is also termed a round Mill Rinde, or Inke of a Mill. In the chief of this square, is fixed another kind of Mill Rinde, Nowy.
Quadrant ferre de moline
Image from proof plateLXI. He beareth a Quadrant Ferre de Moline.
Cramp mill rinde
Image from proof plateLXII. He beareth a Cramp Mill Rinde. This is so termed in respect of the resemblance it hath to an Iron Cramp, another Instrument used amongst Mills.
Crab ferre de moline
Image from proof plateLXIII. He beareth a Crab Ferre de Moline. So termed from its likeness to the Crab Fish.
Ink of a mill
Image from proof plateLXIV. He beareth a Ferre de Moline. This is one way of drawing the modern Mill Rinde, or Inke of a Mill stone; and is of all others the nearest in form to the true Mill Rinde used by Millers.
Ink of a mill
LXV. He beareth the Inke of a Mill,
Hooked. So I have seen it termed, but I take this
to be of no great note, worthy observation for the
other; if there be, in preciseness of Blazon, then let it
be called a Mill Rinde molined, because the ends turn
like the Cross Moline.
Ink of a mill
Image from proof plateLXVI. He beareth a Mill Rinde pointed. This is way of the modern drawing of them. Now here it is to be noted, that these Ferre de Molines, Mill Rindes, Inkes of Mills, or Mill Brandrets, call them which you will, all which names signifie one and the same thing.
