Millstone can be raised and lowered by counterweights.

Mechanics: horse whim; spur gear and lantern.

Millstone can be raised or lowered by a wedge. This mill grinds and sifts flour at same time.

Mechanics: overshot waterwheel; lantern and crown gear.

Millstone can be raised and lowered by a lever.

Mechanics: undershot waterwheel; lantern and crown gear.

The water is then pumped back to the source.

Mechanics: overshot waterwheel; horizontal crankshaft; force pump; lantern and crown gear; crank and connecting rod.

Millstone can be raised and lowered by screws to accommodate change in river levels. Boards attached to beam S, which can be raised or lowered, modulate the river's force through the mill.
