Mishnayos Shabbos Perek 1 Mishnah 9
שבת פרק א׳ משנה ט׳
Bartenura
כלי לבן – which is difficult to launder, it requires three days, and they are stringent upon themselves like the School of Shammai. But the Halakha is not according to Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel, but rather according to the School of Hillel that permits it with the sunlight.
ושוין – The School of Shammai and the School of Hillel, that they load the olives while it is still daylight on the beam of the building containing the tank [and all the implements for pressing olives], after they crush the olives, they load them on heaven beams and the liquid flows on its own throughout the Sabbath.
ועגולי הגת – these of the winepress are called weights (clay cylinders), in which there were thick planks made in a round mold, and in this the School of Shammai agrees with the School of Hillel, because if they were to work these on the Sabbath, there would be no liability of transgression, because they don’t place the beam on the olives until they first mill them with a millstone and similarly with grapes that they first tread on them with their feet, and without the beam the liquid would come forth on its own, but it would not come out well until now, therefore, it is not similar to threshing.
כלי לבן. שהוא קשה לכבס, צריך שלשה ימים, ומחמירין על עצמן כבית שמאי. ואין הלכה כרבן שמעון בן גמליאל, אלא כבית הלל שמתירין עם השמש:
ושוין. בית שמאי ובית הלל, שטוענין את הזיתים מבעוד יום בקורת בית הבד, לאחר שטחנו הזיתים טוענין עליהם קורות כבדים והמשקה זב והולך מאליו כל השבת:
ועגולי הגת. הנך דגת קרי עגולין, שהיו דפין עבין עשויין בעיגול, ובהא מודו ב״ש לב״ה, משום דאי נמי עביד להו בשבת ליכא חיוב חטאת, דאין נותנין קורה ע״ג זיתים עד שטוחנן תחלה ברחיים, וכן בענבים דורכים אותן ברגל תחלה, ובלאו קורה נמי משקה נפיק ממילא, אלא דלא נפיק שפיר כי השתא, הלכך לא דמי לדש:

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.
