Toll-col-lect′or.

1. A counter at a turnstile or gate to indicate the number of persons passing. See turnstile.

2. A device attached to the feed of a grain-mill to subtract the toll.

Toll-collector for grist-mills.

The toll-duct F, which extends above the bottom B, affords a seat for the divider G, which consists of a wheel whose spokes correspond in number with the fraction or portion of grain to be taken for toll. The grain which is in one of these divisions runs by duct J and hollow hub F to the chute N, which discharges it separately from the remainder of the grain, which passes by spout O to the stones. There are several other forms.
