Description:
Photograph of the Flour Dresser (Bolter) still in position on the stone floor at Pontys Mill. This was driven by belts from the lay shaft on the floor below. This was used when making bread flour, which required two passes through the mill. The first process was to grind the wheat to produce meal. The bolter was then used to separate the meal into various grades of flour.
Observations:
None
