Treadle Dresser in the Mill 1975

A nice piece of kit this - "portable" - it was later motorised. Unlike some of the treadle dressers on display at Llanberis, this is a conventional rotary Greaves Dresser, but with a foot pedal to work it. One of Greaves' patents was for a double sided dresser, the cutting drum of which oscillated, being driven from a similar mechanism.
