NORDYKE, MARMON & Co.--_Gentlemen_:--The mills we purchased of you are
two run, of 30-inch upper-runner pulley mills, iron back and balance,
for wheat--and one under-runner 30-inch mill for grinding corn, rye,
buckwheat, &c. Our power is a 20 foot boiler, 42 inches diameter, and
engine 8 inch cylinder and 20 inch stroke, speed 150 revolutions per
minute; speed of mills 300 revolutions. The average grinding is 7
bushels of wheat per hour to each wheat run--and of good wheat we make
our customers 40 pounds of flour to the bushel after tolling--the
quality, our customers say, is the best in the market. We run the three
mills, two smut machines, of your make, screen and three reels with 65
pounds of steam, and use from 1½ to 2 cords of wood per day.
Respectfully, yours,
OSBORN & DYE.
Under date of September 6, 1869, in a letter from the same mill, they
say, “Our mills are doing well, making 40 pounds of good merchantable
flour to the bushel, after tolling one-eighth.”

We forbear to extend the publication of the large amount of similar
testimony in our possession, as these statements from many points of the
country widely distant from each other, indicate the various conditions
under which our mills are placed and operated. We hope they will be
found useful and instructive.
