1 gen 1692 anni - rollers

Descrizione:

The cutlers had rollers in their smithies long before there were rolling mills, although it is not clear how they were powered. In 1692, for example, Robert Nicholls had possessions which included three ‘engines’ with a total value of £4 10s 0d and <i>a pair of rollers</i> worth £1 2s 6d (IH). The inference is that the rollers and one or other of the contrivances described as ‘engines’ were used to form metal into bars or sheets.
