Old telemechanic pillar

Telemechanism is a principle that rapidly declined with the emergence of electricity. The pillars are remnants of a time during which an abundance of ideas on technical improvements flourished. These cut-stone pyramid-shaped pillars provided support to one or more wheels, built into the upper part. The cables ran from the pulley, driven by the turbine (located further downstream), before running around the pillar’s wheels and reaching the grain mill wheel, which in turn activated the grinding wheel by a series of gears.
