The roller flour milling revolution

摘要

I mentioned in my previous contribution to the magazine that: "I am spending 5 days in Budapest exploring, and photographing, the surviving roller mill sites and buildings in a city which was once the centre of European roller flour milling." That visit was very successful; I did not meet Ganz or Mechwart because they died, respectively, in 1867 and 1907, but I saw several of the buildings to which they made important contributions and have subsequently found map and picture evidence of Budapest's lead in developing roller flour milling and influencing the United Kingdom.
