Go to wikipedia.org and it will re-direct you to "Winter Service Vehicle." Scroll down and you can click on 4.2 Gritter/Sander and it will take you to an explanation of a gritter and a picture of one. I doubt, however, that used in the context of the sentence provided by Stephen, that this is what he is asking about. Don in AZ

Sorry to keep bothering everyone with this stuff. I am almost done with my book, I think.

In a book titled "What My Heart Wants to Tell" By Verna Mae Slone (a book about her Appalachian heritage).....she referred to a gritter being made by punching holes in a piece of tin with a nail. Ears of dried corn were rubbed over the sharp edges made by the nail holes to make cornmeal. They called it gritted bread. So I suppose it was really a grater. Hope that helps.
