It's an olive press.
I wrote, "The big round things were for grinding grain. You put a wooden beam through the square hole in the middle, and hooked it up to a turny-thing in the middle and to a bunch of donkeys at the ends, and they just plodded along all day."
But the part about the donkeys was probably true.
Just got a note back from those American nuns in Molise. I think I'll go next weekend.
