	The Dutch Windmill :
		In the case of windmills the scoop wheel is in a fixed place and the water is moving, in the case of ships it is the other way round: the water remains, as it were, in the same place, but the ship is propelled.
		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.
		With tall windmills the cap is sometimes at a height of more than 100 feet and a special provision has to be made to enable the miller to get at the sails so as to set or reef the cloths, to turn the capstan wheel of the tail pole, or to operate the brake rope.

	Norfolk Mills - Stow tower windmill
		Stow mill, situated on Stow Hill at Paston on the coast road near Mundesley, is often known as Paston mill.
		The imposing towermill was built as a flour mill in 1827 and was unusual in that it was designed from the start to look scenic, even to the extent of having dummy windows on each of the upper floors.
		In 1971 the mill was conveyed to C.M. Newton’s grandson, Mike Newton, who enlarged the barn behind the mill and converted it to his home.

	Mill Run wind farm to start churning out electricity - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		Located about three miles east of the village of Mill Run, the wind farm is situated along the Laurel Ridge at the border of Stewart and Springfield townships, on land owned by members of the extended Steyer family.
		Six of the windmills are on the Ray and Shirley Steyer farm in Springfield Township, three on the adjacent Dwayne and Ruth Steyer farm in Stewart, and one on a separate parcel of family land.
		But she and her husband don't expect the windmills to have much of an impact on their cows that will soon be grazing under the turning blades.

	The Dutch Windmill :
		In the case of the sails of a windmill, when revolving, the part near the shaft has a relatively low speed, but the speed with which the stock cleaves the air becomes greater for each point that is further away from the shaft.
		In front the underside of the body of a wip mill is often delicately curved; in the middle of the breast there is a borstnaald (prick post), which in turn ends in a finial in the form of a drop-shaped knob, ball, acorn, or the like at the bottom.
		By the side of the drainage mills we see, in the immediate neighbourhood, the simple 'summer house' of the miller; near the mill there are the scoop wheel or the Archimedean screw with the automatic sluice door, the head race which feeds the water to be pumped, and the tail race which discharges it.

	Mills on the web - links
		The mill was built in 1820 by the Canterbury millwright John Holman.
		The semi-derelict mill tower was purchased by the Hobbs family in 1985.
		It is one of Kent's largest windmills: its sweeps have "patent" type shutters instead of canvas and sails, and produced enough power to turn four sets of mill stones as well as the maize and oats crushing/cutting machines.

	Fans and Wind Power
		Horizontal windmills were known in Persia, perhaps by the 8th century BCE, and the idea was carried to the Far East by prisoners of Genghis Khan, where it was considerably developed in China to drive irrigation machinery.
		As these mills became taller to reach stronger winds, it was necessary to build a gallery around the tower so the miller could attend to the sails, and also arrange the tail pole to adjust the orientation.
		When a windmill was not in operation, the sails were placed in an X position to equalize forces on the stocks.

	Windmills in Kent - Meopham Windmill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This fine weatherboarded smock mill stands on a two-storey brick base with a wide stage over it, and is of the less common six-sided shape.
		Well built of oak in 1801 by the three Killick brothers of Strood, it was originally erected as a "model mill" or sample, by the millwrights to encourage orders, and appears to have succeeded in that object.
		The mill ceased grinding flour after 1914, though it continued to mill animal feeds for a further 13 years, latterly on 2 sweeps, and supplemented by a gas engine from 1927.

	History
		Upminster Windmill is considered to be one of the finest examples of a “Smock” windmill remaining in England.
		Nothing was done to the Mill during the War and a restoration committee was established in 1948.
		The Mill continued to deteriorate and in 1960 Essex County Council, with a more enlightened policy than in 1937, purchased additional land and demolished the Mill house, the steam plant and all the other out-buildings.

	HOOK MILL REDUX: IT GETS THE SHAFT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Pantigo Mill's stocks - the arms that connect the sails to the shaft - cracked in a storm two years ago.
		Richard Ward Baxter of Amagansett is the general contractor on the Gardiner Mill restoration and is working with Sherrill Dayton on the new Hook Mill shaft, which still needs its neck irons and a tail gudgeon, a sort of axle.
		In days gone by, Hook Mill ground corn into meal and wheat into flour, but the last time the sails turned was on a breezy day in the early 1980s, when the Public Broadcasting System asked to use the mill in a documentary about the Dutch who settled the Hudson River Valley.

	Havering - Upminster Windmill: A History
		The windmill was built in 1803 by local farmer James Noakes, Upminster Windmill continued to grind wheat and produce flour until 1934.
		The windmill exchanged hands again in 1857 when Thomas Abraham, who had worked as a foreman for Thomas Noakes, bought the mill and its immediate surrounding land for £1100, being unable to raise the £1900 for the entire estate.
		In 1937 the Windmill was purchased by Essex County Council with the intention of demolishing it.

	How the Mill Works
		Such is the fascination of windmills whose evolution is a tribute to the cunning and innovation of countless millers and millwrights who strove to make their mills grind grain to flour more efficiently and safely.
		Each stock is held in the canister by wooden wedges and by two stock clamps bolted to the stocks and clasping the canister.
		When the mill is not at work or if the wind is sufficiently strong for the mill to work with only the spring sails, the canvas is furled up tightly along the front edge of the sail.

	The Conservation
		When he inherited the mill from his father in 1925, the mill was operating by wind and engine oil.
		Lightning struck one of the sails that year and although it was replaced, the shutters were removed altogether and the mill stopped working by windpower.
		Mill House was purchased to reunite it with the mill and land acquired for car parking.

	Norfolk Mills - Sutton tower windmill
		Sutton mill was built c.1789 and at nine floors topped by a traditional Norfolk boat shaped cap, by 2005 it was the tallest remaining windmill in the UK.
		The mill, which by this time had given up grinding corn and was exclusively producing animal feed, ceased to work from that time.
		The mill was bought by Chris Nunn in 1975 and has since been restored to become a museum in its own right, quite apart from the Broads Museum housed in the surrounding complex.

	History - Gornal Old Mill
		The Post Mill came first, its name deriving from the central wooden pole on which the whole mill had to be swivelled to adapt to wind direction.
		The old Gornal joke is that we used to have two windmills but 'there wor enuff wind fer both on em', and indeed there was an Old Mill, whose importance can be gauged by the fact that roads and paths kept continuously open by manor law led to it from all corners of the district.
		The stocks and machinery have long since been removed, but the structure and interior is in good condition, and the view from the top is spectacular in all directions.

	Monitorhistory
		The vane on the mill, the first having what later became known as the Monitor profile, consists of two pieces of sheet steel with longitudinal crimping on upper and lower sides which are attached to each other by riveted steel girts.
		On pull in mill windmills the tension on the wire is required to turn on the mill.
		The great advantage of a pull in mill is that should the control wire break during a storm, the wind wheel automatically turns to the off position, and the mill is protected from damage from severe winds.

	Bourn Mill
		The earliest record we have of the mill is from 1636, but it may be much earlier as this type of windmill has hardly changed since the 13th century.
		The sails have to face squarely into the wind and in order to achieve this the whole body of the mill, with all the machinery inside has to be rotated around the central post using the tail pole.
		The mill's careful and thorough restoration was honoured in 1987 by a Civic Trust Commendation and a Europa Nostra Diploma.

	Rendezvous 2000: Indiana Windmill Project
		The current plan is to assemble the windmill's base and raise the Great Post by the first weekend, then cut and raise the buck by Thursday, June 1, with a few extra days on the back end for unexpected delays.
		The old shaft was rotten in the mortises for the stocks and in the neck bearing area.
		When all I had was drawings of the windmill and a lot of unfamiliar component names, it was beginning to seem overwhelming.

		Herne Mill is a preserved windmill at Herne in Kent.
		Access to the mill is from the village of Herne on the Canterbury to Herne Bay Road.
		In the early summer of 1999 the old steel stocks were replaced with laminated wooden ones, and the shutters were rebuilt in canvas, all of which was to save weight on the head bearing.

		Oldland Windmill is a post mill dating back to the eighteenth century and in operation until 1912.
		While they are not yet on the mill itself, visitors will get the chance to see a major part of the mill work that has been going on since the Winter.
		Although the sweeps were still in the barn and not at the mill itself, visitors could watch volunteers making the shutters, and even sponsor one to assist with the restoration of the mill, while preserving their message on the shutter for another generation to find years later.

	Rigging Guide
		Most of the opinions are personal, but I have drawn heavily on ideas from other Windmillers, notably Jim Lingeman who always seems to have very workable rigging methods.
		The Class Plans and Specifications govern all aspects of the Windmill, but the location and type of rigging is in most cases left up to the owner.
		If you rig your 'Mill using only the simple solutions, it will be more than fast enough.

	East Hampton Star - In the News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		From the top floor of the octagonal mill, where the original workings have outlived their usefulness, the view takes in some 190 acres of productive farmland and preserved open space donated in 1995 to the Peconic Land Trust by Deborah Light, including what is now the Quail Hill Community Farm.
		Schwagerl claims the windmill was built by the Woodhouse family, the philanthropists who built the East Hampton Library and donated the nature trail on Huntting Lane to East Hampton Village.
		Kelsey, in fact, is dubious about the windmill itself, venturing that it might be a "mock" mill and not one that ever did useful work.

	Mill use of cotton pegged at more than 11 million bales
		USDA has estimated mill use of cotton by textile mills in this country at 11.5 million bales.
		Ending stocks are expected to be near 4.2 million next August when the new marketing year begins.
		If domestic mill use next season again reaches 11.5 million bales (the same as currently forecast this season), and exports amount of 6.2 million bales, that would mean at total offtake of 17.7 million bales.

	Burseldon Windmill
		Some of its wooden machinery was incorporated in the present mill, which was built during 1813-14 at a cost of about £800.
		The Windmill formed a part of the 'golden years' of English agricultural prosperity in the mid 19th century processing wheat from the surrounding area into flour for local bakers, ships biscuits and household use, and making animal feed from locally grown barley and oats.
		This coincided with a prolonged depression in agriculture which began in the late 1870s, and Bursledon Windmill was an early casualty of the period.

	Windmills of Barbados
		Sugar mills, by their very nature, were associated with plantations, and unless the mill and plantation house have survived together as an identifiable unit, it's not always obvious which plantation the mill went with.
		Its a small mill, where the sugar mill (still present) is housed wthin the wall itself, rather than being outside in an ancilliary building.
		The well this mill pumped from was apparently unique on the island, since instead of being a roughly circular well, the sides of the well are cut square.

	USDA forecasts bigger winter wheat crop, fewer exports
		A larger-than-expected crop coupled with more wheat in stock is likely to continue downward pressure on prices paid to farmers, which have already hit a seven-year low this month.
		Exports and domestic mill use of cotton are both forecast below last year, and price is down almost 5 cents a pound from 1997.
		Soybean exports, however, were cut 30 million bushels compared to the May estimate, which will leave a 10-year high of 425 million bushels in stock once this year's record large crop is harvested, the Agriculture Department reported.
