Watermill, Picture 3, Vesely Kopec, Pardubicky kraj, Bohemia (CZ), 2013
The gearing in the watermill was wooden, which was typical for the pre-industrial era (which is of course confusing, as watermills were some of the first mechanized industries, albeit a few centuries before steam power). The shafts operated the grindstones, if my memory serves. However, the cheese making equipment was also connected to this mechanism in a convoluted way, eventually (if I'm remembering correctly), connecting to it with a belt.
