There is a spindle that connects the twisting head to the grinder in the base. A high quality pepper grinder usually has a brace across the mouth of the opening to support the spindle. If you are wondering why restaurants have HUGE pepper grinders, it's because they don't want people to walk out with pepper grinders in their pockets. Smart, huh? I know some people who try to protect their software that way...
