Subject: Mid-19th century waterwheel mills

I wonder if anyone might know where I can find some details (nomenclature, relevant designs, etc.) on the mechanism of a typical 19th century waterwheel mill, specifically the wheel, shaft, and gearing. The site is a former grist mill destroyed during the Civil War located on a north Georgia creek. Many thanks,
