Dear Tom-
RE: the rotary quern. You probably know that these were never used in the
New World. I know where many are in museums, etc. in Europe, Middle East,
etc. For instance, the Liverpool Museum has the most extensive collection
of querns in the world, I believe. I did some research there. Another
suggestion: there is a guy who has replicated rotary querns and
demonstrates grinding with them. I saw his demo and heard his paper at a
conference in France a few years ago and, if you wish, I could look up who
he is an put you in touch. I think that he is Italian or French. Why do
you want to use a rotary quern? Why don't you use a "metate" and "mano?"
