The Rabbi of this Algerian coastal city was concerned about the Halachic ramifications of wheat intended for Matza being processed through a rapidly spinning cylinder. A number of works concerning this issue were published including Kol Tachana Vekol Techina (Jerusalem, 1912) by R. Raphael Chaim Moshe ibn Naim of Gibraltar, who here supported Rabbi Maman.
