[AT] Old Grain Elevator and flat belt question

[Richard Strobel]

Lots of old stone buildings around here, Rob.  I think that's about all they 
built with when they made their millions with the gold discovery.   I can 
honestly say I've never been in an old grist mill.  Should rectify that.

Thanks
Rick
