This combined milling machine, made in the early 1900's, has
the name "Henry Bamford & Sons", a forerunner of JCB,
cast into the supporting frame. It was designed to produce animal
feedstock, either by crushing between a pair of adjustable rollers
or by coarse grinding, or 'kibbling', using a pair of conical
grooved steel plates, one fixed, the other rotating. The gap
between the plates is adjustable to vary the quality of the
product to be suitable for a range of animals and purposes. The
machine is driven by the Diesel Engine
through a series of shafts, pulleys and belts. Farmers sometimes
used similar machines, driving them with a belt from a tractor or
a stationary engine.
