Development of the Windmill.

The Philadelphia Ledger has
been digging up some information
concerning the windmill which is
rather interesting. We quote:
Since crusading days there have
been many radical changes in the
make and shape of windmills. The
oldest type was called the post mill
the whole structure being carried
on a post. In order to bring the
sails facing the wind, the structure
was turned on its base by long
lever. The post mill was succeed
ed by the tower, >smock or frOck
mill, in which the mill proper was
a stationary tower, the sails being
attached to a revolving cap, rotat-
ing on the top of the tower In all
old types of mills, the twin shaft
carried four or six arms or whips
on which long, rectangular sails
were stretched. a triangular leading
sail being sometimes added. Later
the sails were made of sail cloth
spread on a wooden framework and
at times boards were utilized. The
American windmills of today are
gigantic, carrying eighteen or more
sails. fixed around a large disk.
They consist of narrow boards or
stats, arranged radially. each board
moving with the winds impetus.
Nowadays these windmllls are fitted
with automatic featherine and
steering machinery and nrgelyre la
used in the United States for pump
ing water.
1T is interesting to consider that
at the beginning of the nineteenth
century the whole of England's
grinding, saving, stamping and the
draining of the eastern counties
was performed by wind power
