Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 4, Part 3 "Brescia" to "Bulgaria"
“The mash-tun is also provided with a stirring apparatus (the _rakes_) so that the grist and liquor may be intimately mixed (D), and an automatic sprinkler, the _sparger_ (fig. 2, B, and fig. 3), which is employed in order to wash out the wort remaining in the grains.”
