Definition
A person who operates bellows, particularly in a forge, foundry, or organ workshop.
Etymology
Compound of 'bellows' plus 'man,' an old occupational term. This specific job title appears in medieval and Renaissance guild records.
Kelly Says
Young apprentices often started as bellowsmen because it was exhausting, repetitive work requiring stamina but little skill—it was how you proved yourself before learning the actual craft of blacksmithing.
