A field mill, also known as a camp mill, was a premodern vehicle which acted as a mobile mill used for grinding grains, which had the very practical use of feeding a moving army. It was first invented in China around 340 AD, although its use eventually died out, was invented separately in Europe by 1580, and then reentered China from Europe during the early 17th century.
