CORN GRINDER

Made by Henry Bamford and Sons. Purchased at the
Royal Welsh Show, Aberystwyth in the 1930's.
It was used by the owner to grind grain for flour and to
prepare oats and other grain for animal fodder. It has a
meal sifter which separated the fine flour from the
coarse.
After the Second World War growing of grain for
animal fodder because uneconomic because of
Government Subsidies. Machines like this soon became
redundant.
