ברזל טמא. שבא משברי כלים טמאין:
שבללו. שטרפו ועירבו עם ברזל טהור שבא מן העשת:
אם רוב מן הטמא טמא. חכמים גזרו על כלי מתכות שנטמאו ושברן והתיכן ועשה מהן כלים, שיחזרו לטומאתן הישנה עד שיזה עליהן שלישי ושביעי ויטבילם ויעריב שמשן:
גסטריות. כמין קדירות עשויות להשתין בהן. ובלשון ערבי קורין להן בסריא״ש:
שישראל ונכרים מטילין לתוכן. משתינים לתוכן. ושתן של נכרי טמא, דגזרו עליהן שיהיו כזבין לכל דבריהן:
מי שפיכות. מים שרחצו בהן ושופכין אותן לחוץ, ובחזקת טמאין הן:
אימתי. מתבטלין מי השפיכות ברוב:
בזמן שקדמו. הן, ואח״כ רבו עליהן מי גשמים וטיהרום:
אבל אם קדמו מי גשמים. אפילו נפלו עליהן משהו מי שפיכות טמאים:

Mishnayos Machshirin Perek 2 Mishnah 4
מכשירין פרק ב׳ משנה ד׳
Bartenura
המטהר את גגו (if one scrubs his roof) – We have the reading "המטהר את גגו" /if one purifies his roof. But there are those who have the reading, "הטורף את גגו"/if one scrubs his roof, meaning that he plasters his roof with plaster or lime to even it out. And the water that one places upon it when one purifies it or when one merely plastered it, they pour it (i.e., the water) and they purify itr, and similarly the water that one washes with them his clothing.
וירדו עליהן גשמין – which are pure waters. And the roof or the clothing drips water.
אם רוב מן הטהור טהור – as for example, if it would drip thin drops at the outset and afterwards it would drip thick drops, it is sure that the majority [of the water] is from the pure [water].
אם הוספיו לנטף – that the drops hurry to descend one after another more than at the outset, it is pure, for they certainly are the majority, and even if the drops themselves are larger from what they were at the beginning. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
המטהר את גגו. גרסינן. ואית דגרס הטורף את גגו, פירוש שטח גגו טיט או סיד להשוותו. והמים שנותנין עליו כשמטהרו או כשטחו בטיט, סתמן שופכין הן ומטמאין. וכן המים שמכבס בהן את כסותו:
וירדו עליהן גשמין. שהן מים טהורים. והגג או הכסות מנטפים מים:
אם רוב מן הטהור טהור. כגון שבתחילה היה מנטף טיפים דקות ולאחר כן מנטף טיפים עבות, בידוע שרוב מן הטהור:
אם הוסיפו לנטף. שממהרים הטפים לירד זו אחר זו יותר מבתחילה, טהור, דודאי רבו. ואע״פ שאין הטפות עצמן יותר גדולות ממה שהיו בתחילה. ואין הלכה כרבי יהודה:

In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.
