• The smaller "line shaft"  pulley (see image 7 above) moves five times faster than the master pulley. Therefore, its speed has been increased to 100 rpm.
• When the clutch on the line shaft is engaged, the pulley belt going down to the horizontal shaft below the floor drives the vertical shaft by a "bevel gear."
• The horizontal belt of the pulley drives the millstones.
