Two designs for an oil mill at Hull. Profile view of the waterwheel machinery [right as viewed], with notes identifying the spur wheel, tumbling shaft and stone wheel. Sectional view of the water wheel itself [left as viewed]. In a scale of 1:36 inches per foot.

Signed and dated in the bottom right corner and inscribed ‘Design for an OIL MILL for Mr Mayson Wright at Hull […] For the explanation see Book 6th of Repts & Ests page 133.’ Later inscribed by John Farey: ‘Printed Reports II 398’
