	The Dutch Windmill :
		Handsome post mills are to be found in North Brabant at Nistelrode and Uden, in Gelderland at Nederasselt and the Doesburg mill near Ede, in Zeeland at Retranchement and at St.Annaland.
		All the indications are that the wip mill - the oldest drainage mill - evolved from the post mill.
		Whilst in the post mill the body is able to turn about a solid pillar because as the mill body moves the mechanism inside turns as well, in the case of a wip mill the top had to be able to turn without interfering with the transmission from the wind shaft to the scoop wheel.

	Encyclopedia: Windmill
		A windmill is an engine powered by the energy of wind to mill grain, often contained in a large building as in traditional post mills, smock mills and tower mills.
		The Smock mill is a type of windmill which consists of a wooden tower, usually with six or eight sides, on top of which is a roof or cap, which can rotate to bring the sails into the wind.
		These mills, made by a variety of manufacturers, featured a large number of blades so that they would turn slowly but with considerable torque in low winds and be self regulating in high winds.

	History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		"Post mills are so named because of the large upright post on which the mill's main structure (the "body") is balanced.
		To maintain the upright post, a structure consisting of horizontal crosstrees, and angled quarterbars is used.
		The body of the mill housed all the milling machinery - a large brake wheel on the same shaft as the sails (the "windshaft") transferred power to a smaller gear at right angles to it, called the wallower.

		Across the post is a very heavy horizontal "stone beam" on which the entire weight of the mill house rests.

	Windmill Types
		Early post mills were the open trestle type, but in the late 18th and 19th centuries, roundhouses were added to provide storage space and more protection for the substructure.
		The 17th century smock mill, the last of the three main types to develop, is a variation on the tower mill.
		The corners of the mill were protected with a strip of lead or zinc, however, weatherproofing was always a problem as rain drove through the joints, at the corners, and around the windows and doors.
