Pivele din arealul etnografic al Bacăului în ultimul deceniu interbelic
Fulling Machines from Bacau Ethnographic Area during the Last Inter-war Decade

Summary/Abstract: In the central-south-western part of Moldova, from the right of Prut river, the hydraulic installations that have used the actuating power of Bistrita and Trotus rivers (feeders of Siret river), we can list: the mill machine, darsta, rapids, saw, gater, pendule and carding comb. The occupation, also known as milling has been practiced over a long period of time on this vast territory, where a large number of sheep herds have wandered. A statistic of the period 1930-1939 has shown the presence of a significant number of hydraulic installations spread throughout this region. Their role was to process thewool coming from the sheep, thus obtaining textiles of the finest quality. Unfortunately none of the hydraulic installations we have looked at, has entered the patrimony of Bacau museum.
