There is a 26cm by 9cm metal plate angled towards the grindstone just in front of the seat. Crossed strapping in the front is attached to frame for supporting the weight of the wheel. There is an old metal can attached to grindstone wheel by a 43cm long metal strapping. The foot pedals appear to be missing a part as one is wired to an upper metal bar on grindstone frame and the other pedal on opposite side is hanging loosely.
History Of Use
