Accompanying text : Since its invention in Greece around 200 BC, the mill has been constantly improved with countless applications, including forges, sawmills, tanneries, fulling mills, hemp and flax scutching mills, pump mills for irrigation or drainage, powder mills, dye mills, salt mills, tripoli mills, clay mills for tile factories, mills for grinding kaolin or phosphates, oil mills, mustard mills, sugar cane mills and, above all, grain mills.
Millers harnessed water, then wind, then the tides.
Engineersengineers created gears and bevel gears, a rotating dining room, the boat mill, rotating sails, the saqiya, curved blades, the roller track, the hammer mill, the Marly machine, articulated wings, the turbine... In short, the mill is the engine of the development of our Western civilization.
