-The pessimist says that man is a lazy animal and that he invents
-machines to save himself work. The optimist, that man is an industrious
-creature who invents machines that he may accomplish the more. Whichever
-doctrine is right, there is but little question that of all the
-ingenious contrivances evolved by man none is more picturesque, of more
-historic interest nor of greater usefulness in its day than the
-old-fashioned windmill, the world’s principal motor for some eight
-hundred years. And “motor” is the viewpoint to take of this old piece of
-mechanism, for just as the later devices of steam, electricity or
-gasoline are for the purposes of making power for the needs of man, so
-was this old appliance for the prime purpose of securing power from the
-wind, and by thus harnessing that most widely distributed of Nature’s
-forces, of enabling the accomplishment of work far beyond the limits of
-manual power.
-
-The steam engine came into use in the early part of the nineteenth
-century. By 1825 most of the principal English cities had it in use.
-Before that period, and dating back to remote ages, the only sources of
-power--other than man or bullocks, etc.--were the two great forces of
-wind and water. But only countries of waterways and varying levels
-afforded waterfalls; while the wind was universal. Therefore, while
-water wheels were in use in parallel periods with the oldest of
-windmills, in number they were infinitely less, so that one can properly
-say that the world’s motor for some eight centuries was the old-time
-windmill. These eight centuries are from about 1000 to 1825, when, with
-the advent of Watt’s invention, the zenith of windmill design and use
-had been attained. After that date they so declined that in fifty years
-not only had new construction ceased, but the old structures in very
-large measure had fallen into decay and abandonment. It is evident from
-the above that an account of this old, picturesque, historic and
-effective tool of mankind should have some interest, both from the
-standpoint of engineering and that of sentiment; and it is believed that
-what follows will give the essential facts relating to it. It may be
-proper to say here that what is related applies entirely to the
-old-style windmill, and in no measure whatever to the modern American
-type of windmill, which, while cheap, effective and useful, is
-nevertheless a prosaic, galvanized iron, squeaky thing, of which happily
-the larger proportion of the millions annually made is exported out of
-our country!
-
-While the antiquity of windmills is traced by some back to the Romans
-there is really nothing very definitely known of their existence before
-the period of the Crusaders. They were said to have been brought into
-central Europe in that period from the Far East; though this is open to
-question. Practically their origin is lost in antiquity, and we only
-know that they appear in the earliest records as existent in some form
-or other.
-
-But by 1200 they were well established. The first English windmill is of
-1191. There are numerous records of them in the thirteenth century.
-There is a brass tablet of 1349 at Lynn church, with a windmill graven
-on it. In old stained glass of the early churches windmills are shown in
-some of the landscapes; as at Great Greenford and Fairfield. In a view,
-“London in the time of the Tudors” (1560), windmills are seen; and Great
-Windmill Street commemorates to this day the location of one in the past
-in that city. Elsewhere it was the same. Rembrandt, of the early part of
-the seventeenth century, shows such mills in some of his pictures; and
-in the early prints and views of France, Germany and other countries is
-abundant evidence of the use of these old, useful machines, in various
-forms, places and ways.
-
-What was standard in the old world was naturally brought into the new,
-and so we find in America, concurrent with the colonies and settlements
-of the early days, the introduction and use of windmills. The Dutch in
-New Amsterdam, in 1625 and later; the Swedes on the Delaware, in 1643;
-the English in Rhode Island, in 1665 and 1675, and Boston, in 1660; and
-on the Carolina coast--all had their mills, as shown by early records,
-maps and views. And these mills were logically the types used by the
-respective settlers, according to the district from which they had come.
-For instance, the old mill in Somerville, Mass., built in 1710 by Jean
-Mallet, a French Huguenot, is of the pure French type; as were those
-near Detroit, by the followers of the fortunes of Cadillac; while those
-in Talbot, Kent and Dorset counties, Maryland, reflected the clear
-English design of the old country. The same applies to the numerous ones
-erected in the colonial days of 1725 to 1775, in Easthampton,
-Bridgehampton, etc., on Long Island; at various points on Cape Cod; at
-Nantucket (1746); in numerous instances on Newport Island, Rhode Island,
-etc. A notable one of this type and period was that on Windmill Island
-in the Delaware River, shown in an old view, “An east prospect of the
-City of Philadelphia,” 1746. All these reflected the English design of
-the emigrant settlers, bringing with them and promptly setting up and
-using the motors or machinery of the mother country.
-
-There are two forms into which these old mills can be grouped, _viz._,
-vertical and horizontal. By that is meant the relative position of the
-wheel and shaft. The vertical is that form in which the wheel is
-vertical, mounted on a shaft which is horizontal or nearly so. This is
-the form almost universal, for while various instances of the other have
-been tried, scarcely one in a thousand has been used compared with the
-vertical type. The reason for this is that in the vertical form of
-wheel, its face directly confronting the wind, all vanes are acted upon
-at once, and there is not only the greatest resulting power, but the
-greatest simplicity of construction and of operation and handling. The
-horizontal wheel, on the other hand, occupying a horizontal zone and
-attached to a shaft that is vertical, like the usual small water
-turbine, in position (but not in the fluid impact) receives the wind
-impact upon only some of the vanes at a time--not the whole
-circumference--with less proportional power and greater complexity of
-construction. So secondary has been the use of this style of windmill
-that consideration of it is negligible.
-
-From the design standpoint, windmills involve four essential component
-parts:
-
-(_a_) A tower, or means of support for the moving wheel and mechanism.
-
-(_b_) A revolving wheel that receives the impact of the wind, converting
-it into power.
-
-(_c_) Some means of turning the wheel, to follow the shifting of the
-wind; and,
-
-(_d_) The driven machinery.
-
-(_A_) _The Towers or Supports._--The support in the earliest form of
-mill was merely a post, made of a suitable log or tree trunk--sometimes
-30 inches thick--upon which the entire structure was carried or hung and
-pivoted, so that it could turn freely to the wind. This was the original
-type--the old “post-mill,” appearing in the earliest known prints and
-records, and alone used until about 1650. At that time the “tower mill”
-was developed, and this, of larger possibilities, soon resulted in great
-structures of that style being built, that generally replaced and threw
-far into the shade the earlier and simple post form.
-
-The towers of this latter form of old windmill were made of every
-conceivable or possible form and material. Straight or cylindrical;
-tapering or cone shaped; octagonal or multi-sided; even bottle shaped,
-like a mammoth milk bottle of the present time. Again, on open arches,
-as in two notable structures later referred to--anything to carry the
-overhead work, according to the fancy or purse or conditions governing
-the builder. Of brick or stone or wood; slate, shingle or thatch
-covered, in height these towers ranged from 25 to 100 feet. The largest
-ever built was at Great Yarmouth, England, 11 stories high, and over 100
-feet, exclusive of the great vanes. The great Dutch grist mills were
-however, a close second in height, and with a base of some 35 feet and a
-top width of 16 feet were massive structures indeed. These tall
-structures were divided by various floor levels, the lower rooms thus
-formed containing the mill-stones or saw or other driven machinery,
-while the upper ones were used for living quarters or storage. The
-structure of the smaller post mills, however, being suspended on the
-centre posts, was never of stone or brick, but wholly of wood, and these
-rotating or movable buildings ranged in size from about 10 by 12 feet to
-16 by 24 feet in the larger ones, and up to two stories in height.
-
-At the top of the mills, of course, was located the wheel shaft and
-gearing, and to protect this from the weather there was always a
-covering or “mill head” or top, and these tops have taken a great
-variety of interesting forms, for no apparent particular reason, and yet
-often a fixed style, following some geographical location. For instance,
-in France the almost universal

-THE FOUR TYPES OF WINDMILLS.]
-
-or characteristic shape is that of a steep true cone; in Denmark,
-Sweden, etc., a Turk’s head or turban type was the standard; also in
-England, on the great tower mills. Yet in Holland, on the same type of
-mill, such was never used, but a distinct Dutch form of irregular shape,
-and almost always thatched. And in the Mediterranean countries the tops
-become so flattened or lowered as to in some cases almost disappear.
-The accompanying plate well illustrates these structural and
-geographical differences.
-
-While the old mills all divide into either post or tower mills, there
-are yet two well-defined further forms, or variations of type, that
-should be remarked.

-TYPICAL WINDMILL HEADS.]
-
-Sometimes a tower mill would be constructed on a circular

-timber framework or base, carried on rollers or iron balls, forming a
-large turntable, enabling the turning of the entire edifice to the wind,
-as need be, the same as a locomotive turntable or a rotary drawbridge is
-turned. This therefore parallels the post mill type, in which the entire
-structure is turned to follow the wind, but turning on this turntable
-base instead of a post. This form was extensively used in the saw mill
-and lumber districts of Holland.
-
-The other variation is what may be called a hybrid form--part post type,
-part tower type. In this the contained machinery is fixed in the base,
-and does not rotate, being thus of the tower mill design; while in the
-upper part of the mill a rectangular wood housing, like a post mill, is
-pivoted and revolves with a tail beam, as in the post design. Such
-hybrid forms are found in Holland and in the valley of the Loire, at
-Saumur, Chinon, etc.
-
-(_B_) _The Sweeps._--With mills built for centuries and by all
-countries, it is but natural to expect to find a wide range of form in
-this most characteristic part of a windmill--the sweeps or vanes; and in
-this one is not disappointed.
-
-The usual, earliest and simple form was that of a canvas or sail covered
-framework. This canvas covering could be reefed to suit the strength of
-the wind, and the four measures of sail spread were known as “full
-sail,” “quarter sail,” “sword point” and “dagger point,”
-respectively--these last two, from a fancied resemblance of the shape of
-the partly furled or reefed cloth to the point of a sword or dagger. But
-these canvas sails were laborious to handle, and in no sense automatic
-in varying the amount of surface according to the strength of the wind,
-which resulted in numerous schemes for betterment. The most successful
-of these and that known as “patent” sails was the invention of Cubit, an
-Englishman, who, a century and a quarter or so ago, devised a series of
-wood shutters forming the face of the vane, all connected by little
-levers and cords or rods to a counterweight. This, when adjusted, would
-cause the shutters to give a full, flat surface to the wind, but if the
-wind should increase to a danger point, its force would overcome the
-pull of the weight and the hinged shutters would all open the necessary
-amount to spill some of the wind through and thus ease the pressure on
-the sweeps. This was a good deal like a huge Venetian blind arrangement,
-as to the shutters or slats; and in some cases these shutters worked
-against the tension of a spring instead of the pull of a weight, and
-such were known as Meikle’s “spring sweeps.” Still another
-arrangement--Bywater’s--was that of the canvas being mounted upon a long
-roller, a good deal like a modern window shade, which rolled and
-unrolled as needed; but this was rather complicated and not much in
-vogue.
-
-It was usual to have four-fifths of the area of the sweeps on one side
-of the arm and one-fifth on the other, and these were “single sweeps”;
-while those in which there was a wide area on both sides--as almost the
-universal practice in France--were known as “double sweeps.” Wood has
-been used as a sweep covering as well as canvas--as for instance in
-France, where one finds some of the most primitive, crude mills, with
-sails made of thin boards interlaced or woven into the vane framework;
-while, on the other hand, one also finds quite an elaborate
-construction. This is in the mills of the Loire valley, in which a dozen
-parallel boards on each vane are rigged much like a great Japanese fan,
-which when open presents a large surface, but when closed presents but
-little, the boards or wood strips overlapping and resting one upon the
-other. This construction I have found nowhere but in that section.
-
-Going still further toward the primitive, we find in the Mediterranean,
-especially in the eastern end, in Asia Minor, in the vicinity of Smyrna,
-Turkey; the islands of Rhodes, Chios, Samos, and of Greece and the Sea
-of Marmora, a construction consisting simply of poles, anywhere from six
-to a dozen, stuck in the hub, carrying flying jibs, resulting in a wheel
-not far different in form from the paper spinwheel that a child may
-make! In Sicily and the Balearic islands these become a little better,
-having the wood framework to hold the canvas in the most effective
-position, and they form a transition phase between the crude jib wheels
-of the Orient and the elaborated types of the north.
-
-In number the arms of the usual mill were four--and almost universally,
-for this was not only the simplest and strongest construction compared
-with the difficulty of framing six or eight firmly at the hub, but also
-the most effective. For it was found that the wind had to have a certain
-amount of exit space between the vanes to get away freely, and that if
-this part of the circle was too much filled with additional sweeps no
-corresponding gain in power was secured. A few very fine examples,
-however, can be found of these five-and six-arm mills, as in the famous
-100-foot brick tower mill of Whitby, England, with five arms and its
-Turk’s head top; and at Lewes, where a fine turret mill and others have
-five and six arms.
-
-The length of these arms in an ordinary size mill was about 30 feet,
-giving a diameter to the wheel of 60 feet; but in the big tower mills
-referred to the arms were sometimes 50 and 60 feet long, making the
-wheels well over 100 feet in diameter. The usual speed was about 16
-revolutions a minute. If faster than 20 a danger point was reached that
-was very real, for there have been many cases of runaway mills,
-resulting from defective brakes or accident or carelessness; in which
-accidents millers have been caught in the vanes or sweeps and carried
-around and around and thrown off; or millstones bursting from too high
-speed have amputated the miller’s legs; or friction heat has set the
-structure afire.
-
-It is of course obvious that the surface of these windmill sails could
-not be really flat, as in that case the wind blowing against it would
-merely recoil and exert no power effect. A warp or twist was requisite,
-that the wind might give a thrust to the sail in passing through the
-wheel, precisely the reverse action of a screw propeller on a boat.
-
-This twist was known as the “angle of weather” or “bosom,” and the
-precise amount and form were the subjects of many early abstruse and
-learned studies. Practice finally settled down to an angle of about 17°
-at the inner end and about 8° at the outer end of the sail as being the
-most effective.
-
-The mounting of these huge wheels was a matter of some moment, requiring
-very heavy construction, and this resulted in the use, as a rule, in all
-the earlier and medium size mills of a great shaft or log, turned or
-hewed octagonal, carried by gudgeon bearings, on old blocks of
-soapstone, or greased oak, or cast iron bearings at either end. Into the
-outer projecting end, outside the roof, the square ends of the vane
-shafts or sweeps were mortised and bound with straps and bolts of iron.
-Later and in the larger mills, and after foundry work was more
-available, these “great-shafts” were made of iron, giving much better
-bearings and enabling the sweeps to be bolted into square openings more
-conveniently. But with all these mills, especially the early simpler
-forms, there was an enormous loss in dead weight moved and in friction,
-and it is doubtful whether in most of them 50 per cent of the force of
-the wind reached the mill stones below for useful work.
-
-There was a popular belief that the wind came down from the heavens
-above, and that therefore the wheel should “look up” a little, to best
-meet it; with the result that the shaft of the mill was virtually never
-set level, as one might suppose, but always with the outer end a little
-higher than the inner, which angle of uplift varied from 5° to 10°. A
-very practical result of this was also gotten, in the necessary
-clearance of the tapering tower by the revolving vanes. For these
-revolving vanes were something to be respected--a 60-foot wheel, for
-instance, weighing several tons and having a periphery speed of perhaps
-3000 feet a minute, and more than one horse or cow straying into the
-path of the arms in a mill in operation has been struck and paid the
-penalty. To guard against that, mills were at times set upon a dais or
-raised foundation, or fenced in.
-
-The great shaft would have mounted upon it a “great wheel,” from 8 to 12
-or 15 feet in diameter, with cog teeth, and these engaged in a pinion or
-lantern or trundle or wallower wheel, as variously styled, on a vertical
-shaft, which led to the machinery below, and there, by any suitable and
-usual gear work of the olden times, whatever grist, saw, grinding,
-stamping or other machinery was to be driven would be duly operated by
-the wind power from above.
-
-(_C_) _The Tail Beam or Vane._--The third essential feature of these old
-mills was the device for keeping the wheel head-on to the wind, for the
-purpose of securing the fullest amount of power. And this was quite a
-point, in view of the perpetual shifting of the wind.
-
-The first arrangement was that of a long beam or pole projecting from
-the rear of the old-time post mill, used precisely like a rudder. When
-the direction of the wind changed this would be pushed from one side to
-the other, to steer the post mill structure, pivoted on the post, again
-into the wind. And in the succeeding tower mills, where only the top or
-head would be turned, the tail beam principle was continued--as best
-developed in Holland, where a somewhat elaborately braced and
-several-membered framework was carried down to a point where it could be
-reached and moved as the wind shifted. But in Holland the mills became
-of large size and the weight to be moved was great, so that the old
-Dutch miller would blow a whistle to summon his hands for help. In later
-years they made use of a further rig of chains and tackle and a wheel
-like a pilot’s, which enabled the snubbing around of the vanes and cap
-to be done far more easily than by pushing by hand alone. This old tail
-beam is, however, characteristic of the old-time small mill, and many
-are the tracks, well worn and circular, around the mill that betoken
-the years of labor of the miller, even if eased by an old cartwheel to
-carry the end of the beam, as instanced in the well-known old mill at
-Nantucket and elsewhere.
-

-
-Probably the next device for turning to the wind was the use of a chain
-pull, connected to overhead gear wheels and a cogged track; for not
-only is this found in some early mills of Holland, and in the mills at
-Newport, R. I., but also in the rare old Peyto mill at Leamington,
-England, of 1632, of which I shall speak further. These chain pulls were
-either inside or out; the former being more protected from the weather.
-
-[Illustration: Thatched tower pumping mill. Holland.]
-
-But all these hand devices were completely eclipsed by another invention
-of Cubit--he of the “patent” sweep-shutter--known as Cubit’s tail vane.
-This was the use of a small wheel of from 4 to 10 vanes, usually 6,
-placed in the rear of the head of the mill, up aloft, and so connected
-by a train of small gearing that when it rotated it would turn the main
-head a little, and if need be follow up the variations of the wind. So
-accurately was this designed that it is said that even with the wind
-shifting but a couple of degrees around the horizon the tail wheel would
-then begin to turn, and with its gearing would in turn wind the mill
-head, carrying the sweeps, into the wind. This automatic arrangement was
-almost universally adopted in England, in the better class of mills;
-yet, with the stolidity of the Dutch temperament, apparently content to
-continue with hand labor as did their grandfathers, this admirable
-device was rarely transplanted even to a place as nearby as Holland.
-
-Turning now from the mechanical side of these old mills, as above, it is
-interesting to note the varied forms, uses and characteristics as found
-in the diverse parts of the world, and in the variety of races where and
-by whom these old home-made motors have been used.
-
-[Illustration: Saw-mill; turntable type. Holland.]
-
-Holland is usually taken as the home of the windmill, but that is so
-only in the greater proportionate number there in use than elsewhere. It
-is not true as regards origin nor the best development of them. It is a
-country notably flat, without water power, on the sea coast, and
-requiring great pumping equipment for draining, etc. This early resulted
-in the great number of windmills there found and associated with that
-little kingdom. It is said that in early days there were 10,000 of them.
-The greater number of them were used for lifting water to drain the
-“polders,” or meadows or lowlands, through the medium of a scoop wheel
-or Archimedes screw. Some of them can yet be seen and in use, with fat
-Dutch babies apparently ever on the edge of falling in the sluiceways,
-yet never doing so. Nearly all of these mills have been replaced by
-great steam-driven government pumping stations. For sawing wood, also,
-great numbers are yet used in the Zaandam district, where several
-hundred can be seen almost adjacent, a vista and forest of windmills.
-And in the heart of the chief cities one yet sees, here and there, an
-old-time brick tower mill, probably 200 years old--a family heritage,
-with its clean and trim curtained little Dutch windows, its individual
-name, as of a ship, such as “The Admiral” or “The Parrot,” over the
-door, and its old coat of arms and carvings and touches of color. For
-the Dutchman is fond of his substantial woodwork, and of his bits of
-color; and such finds expression in his mills, where carving like the
-stern of an old galley and color stripings of all the rainbow are both
-tucked in and flagrantly added.
-
-[Illustration: “Petmolen” or small pumping mill. Holland.]
-
-The characteristic of the Dutch mill is, however, that of a thatch
-covering, both on sides and top, on the usual size common
-mill--something not found in any other country. It is said of them that
-there is also a code worked out--sort of a wigwag or semaphore
-system--so that by the position of the vanes as left when shutting down,
-the long-distance observer can read whether a carpenter is needed or a
-baby has been born, etc., etc. Certain it is that the mills make fine
-elevations for flag-flying on holiday occasions, for then the staunch
-colors of Holland will be found on the flagpoles atop the most of them.
-In noting the Dutch mills, one cannot overlook--nor wants to--the
-picturesque little “petmolens” or “jaskers”--diminutive post pumping
-mills, for small fields only--that, with long, slender vanes, seen
-through the haze or afar, almost suggest one of the old rocs from Sinbad
-the Sailor, caught in the act of alighting.
-
-[Illustration: Brick tower mill; largest built. Great Yarmouth, England.
-(With Cubit’s tail vane.)]
-
-England, while numerically far inferior to Holland, is yet far in
-advance from the viewpoint of the fullest engineering development of
-this world’s motor, as may be gathered from what has been said above as
-to the automatic shutters, tail vanes, etc. The largest, the most varied
-and the most efficient are found there. Many fine examples of these
-mills can be seen, a few of which are still in operation. In the south
-of England there are plenty of old wood structures of all forms--of
-which the turret is perhaps the most locally characteristic. This is a
-huge, or at least large size, post mill, often for some fine estate,
-with the base enclosed with a circular low or one-story building, used
-for storage, so that the external effect suggests a turret. In central
-England a good number of the tall brick tower mills yet stand.
-
-[Illustration: Tower grist mill. South of England.]
-
-For picturesqueness, however, no country surpasses old France. There the
-mills are small; the huge, towering structure of the Dutch and English
-is unknown. But one can find many of great antiquity, great variety of
-form and of great charm. The type seems to be the true cylindrical
-tower--not tapering--with the cone top. In the racetrack at Longchamps,
-near Paris, is an instance, while on the golf course at St. Lunaire,
-overlooking the sea coast, on the Channel, as in innumerable other
-places in the northern part of France, these little sentries of the past
-can be found. Picturesque as they are, however, they are not yet as much
-so as even an older and cruder form suggesting an old blockhouse. For
-above the stone first story is an overhanging wood second story, as so
-well instanced at St. Briac. And in the Loire valley are the very unique
-hybrid mills with the folding boards vane arrangement, already referred
-to, which at Saumur date back to 1682, as doubtless do the others of
-that not-to-be-found-elsewhere form.
-
-[Illustration: Turret post-mill. South of England.]
-
-Of old post mills of the usual wood form France has plenty, of which the
-one on top of Montmartre, in the Moulin de la Galette grounds, is
-perhaps the most prominent. It is one of the two or three remaining that
-were part of a dozen or more that crowned that hill in the early days,
-as shown in several views of old Paris. What changes it has seen in its
-600 years of accredited age! In its timbers are shot and balls of the
-revolutions of 1814 and 1871. Within are the old bells and bunks and
-shrines of the generations of millers who operated it, one of whom is
-said to have been killed and quartered and hung on the four arms of his
-own mill by the successful assailants. In the same premises is a dear
-little miniature mill, which, with diminutive stones of but 18 or 20
-inches in diameter, was used for grinding spices, in place of the usual
-grain for bread.
-
-[Illustration: Tower mill and tail beam. St. Lunaire, France.]
-
-In Belgium we find, in the main, the post and tower mills of Holland
-and the Netherlands; while in Germany, as well, the similarity to the
-Dutch mills is the only or chief characteristic. In Denmark and Sweden
-and in Iceland are the usual mills of this section, excepting that their
-octagonal, typical squatty grist mill nearly always has the Turk’s head
-top instead of the irregular shape of Holland and Germany. And so
-pronounced is that that in Lawrence, Kan., where a mill was erected in
-1858, with a Swedish top, inquiry develops that it was by Swedish
-emigrants. Iceland can claim probably the most northern mill ever
-erected, for in Reykiavik, a little isolated town of about 3000
-inhabitants, we find an old mill, probably the first and only motor in
-the early days in Iceland.
-
-[Illustration: Tower mill; double sweeps. St. Briac, France.]
-
-There is greater picturesqueness--but, as usual, accompanied with less
-efficiency--in the southern part of Europe, as, for instance, in Spain.
-Here, aside from the jib flying mills of the
-
-[Illustration: Hybrid type of grist mill, 1682. Saumur, France.]
-
-[Illustration: Crude forms of tower grist mills; vicinity of Buda-Pesth,
-Hungary.]
-
-Mediterranean, we find primitive construction, crude devices and even
-the clay water bottles, or jars, bound to a cumbrous wheel, slowly
-turning over by wind power, for lifting water for irrigation, similar to
-devices seen on the banks of the Nile--although there operated by oxen.
-And in Spain we tread the country where the ever immortal Don Quixote,
-despite the adjurations of the faithful Sancho Panzo, charged at full
-speed a flock of windmills on the plains of Montiel.
-
-[Illustration: Mid-European type of post mill. Belgium.]
-
-The crude structures of Greece and Turkey, already mentioned, are so
-crude that often no device is provided for turning to the wind, but, on
-the contrary, four mills are sometimes built in a field, facing,
-respectively, north, south, east and west; so that whichever way the
-wind comes some power can be secured. It is, however, more likely that
-prevailing winds are so constant from one quarter there is but little
-use for a turning device, resulting in its omission.
-
-[Illustration: Tower mill. Trapani, Sicily.]
-
-And so one can go the world over and find these old mills; to the
-Barbadoes, where they are still extensively used--and of English
-type--for crushing sugar cane; to Jamaica, where they once were, as
-shown by an old print of the earthquake of 1792, in which several mills
-are depicted bodily upside down almost, as would be a child’s toy; to
-Peru, where over 13,000 feet above sea level in the Potosi silver mining
-districts of past times--centuries past--old prints show mills of the
-manifest Spanish type operating stamps for crushing silver ore; to the
-St. Lawrence, where the early settlers, both French and English, left
-their imprint in the shape of old mills on several promontories and
-points; to southern Illinois, where the German emigrants of the
-
-[Illustration: Multi-jib tower mill. Samos, Turkey in Asia.]
-
-[Illustration: Tower of the old Newport mill, of 1675, as now standing.

-
-1820’s and ’30’s brought with them the mills of the Fatherland, etc. In
-all quarters of the globe the world’s chief motor for eight centuries
-can still be found.
-
-[Illustration: Chesterton mill, vertical section between columns.]
-
-And in closing this review of old windmills there is no instance to
-which reference should be made of quite as much interest as the old mill
-at Newport, known to every American antiquary and which, some two or
-three generations ago, was ingeniously ascribed to the Norse in the
-period of 1100 or thereabouts. This theory, while highly picturesque,
-was unfortunate chiefly in never having anything except surmise to back
-it up. Not a jot nor tittle of record or physical remains could be
-developed to substantiate it, and it has long since been practically
-dropped by most students of American history. And when the following,
-that has in recent years been developed, is borne in mind, there seems
-no vestige of reason left in the Norse theory. There is no question as
-to the following facts in relation to the Newport mill, and I speak with
-confidence, having in person surveyed and thoroughly investigated both
-it and its English prototype, as described:
-
-[Illustration: Newport mill restored, vertical section.]
-
-In 1675 Governor Benedict Arnold (the grandfather of the traitor) was in
-charge of the then early colony of Rhode Island. Sixty years before he
-had been born in the Warwickshire section, England, in which the Peyto
-estate was perhaps the greatest and finest. On that estate there was
-completed the most elaborate windmill ever built. Inigo Jones, England’s
-great architect of that time, designed it, and it was unique in its open
-arch design, its finely chiselled stonework and unusual adornment. Young
-Arnold was a lad of 17 at that time, and the building of this beautiful
-and remarkable windmill, in 1632, was, with small
-
-[Illustration: Inigo Jones-Peyto mill of 1632. Chesterton, Warwickshire,
-England.]
-
-doubt, a marked episode in his life and knowledge. Forty odd years
-later, he, by the chance of fate, was the Governor of the Rhode Island
-Colony. With the destruction of a previous wood windmill of 1665, blown
-down in a great storm, it became his duty to provide another one for the
-use of the little colony. And there is small doubt, indeed, that in
-doing that he undertook to provide a mill that should be as nearly as
-possible a copy of the old mill at Chesterton, near Leamington--the best
-mill of which he knew. And so, without the measurements as to the
-general arrangement, size and design, from memory only, he there built,
-with the most limited facilities, a virtual replica of the
-Leamington-Peyto-Jones mill. In order to secure greater permanence and
-protection against Indian attacks the mill was built of stone instead of
-wood.
-
-[Illustration: Newport, R. I., mill as “restored” or probably
-constructed.]
-
-For, while of course the fine stone work and carving and detail are
-missing, in this colonial condition, the general dimensions, the design
-and the interior arrangements are in substance the same throughout. It
-needs only the comparison of the plans of the two--side by side--to be
-satisfied as to that. Governor Arnold’s birthplace and connection afford
-the reason of the similarity, and his will even speaks of “my stone
-built windmill.” This old structure, still standing--as to its walls--in
-Truro Park, Newport, R. I., is perhaps America’s greatest colonial
-relic, and with its prototype of Chesterton constitutes the most unique
-pair of windmills, having the greatest historic interest, of any
-attaching to our country’s windmill history.

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
-SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
-particular state visit http://pglaf.org
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
-To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
-unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
-keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

-<p><span class="smcap">The</span> pessimist says that man is a lazy animal and that he invents
-machines to save himself work. The optimist, that man is an industrious
-creature who invents machines that he may accomplish the more. Whichever
-doctrine is right, there is but little question that of all the
-ingenious contrivances evolved by man none is more picturesque, of more
-historic interest nor of greater usefulness in its day than the
-old-fashioned windmill, the world’s principal motor for some eight
-hundred years. And “motor” is the viewpoint to take of this old piece of
-mechanism, for just as the later devices of steam, electricity or
-gasoline are for the purposes of making power for the needs of man, so
-was this old appliance for the prime purpose of securing power from the
-wind, and by thus harnessing that most widely distributed of Nature’s
-forces, of enabling the accomplishment of work far beyond the limits of
-manual power.</p>
-
-<p>The steam engine came into use in the early part of the nineteenth
-century. By 1825 most of the principal English cities had it in use.
-Before that period, and dating back to remote ages, the only sources of
-power&mdash;other than man or bullocks, etc.&mdash;were the two great forces of
-wind and water. But only countries of waterways and varying levels
-afforded waterfalls; while the wind was universal. Therefore, while
-water wheels were in use in parallel periods with the oldest of
-windmills, in number they were infinitely less, so that one can properly
-say that the world’s motor for some eight centuries was the old-time
-windmill. These eight centuries are from about 1000 to 1825, when, with
-the advent of Watt’s invention, the zenith of windmill design and use
-had been attained. After that date they so declined that in fifty years
-not only had new construction ceased, but the old structures in very
-large measure had fallen into decay and<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_172" id="page_172"></a>{172}</span> abandonment. It is evident from
-the above that an account of this old, picturesque, historic and
-effective tool of mankind should have some interest, both from the
-standpoint of engineering and that of sentiment; and it is believed that
-what follows will give the essential facts relating to it. It may be
-proper to say here that what is related applies entirely to the
-old-style windmill, and in no measure whatever to the modern American
-type of windmill, which, while cheap, effective and useful, is
-nevertheless a prosaic, galvanized iron, squeaky thing, of which happily
-the larger proportion of the millions annually made is exported out of
-our country!</p>
-
-<p>While the antiquity of windmills is traced by some back to the Romans
-there is really nothing very definitely known of their existence before
-the period of the Crusaders. They were said to have been brought into
-central Europe in that period from the Far East; though this is open to
-question. Practically their origin is lost in antiquity, and we only
-know that they appear in the earliest records as existent in some form
-or other.</p>
-
-<p>But by 1200 they were well established. The first English windmill is of
-1191. There are numerous records of them in the thirteenth century.
-There is a brass tablet of 1349 at Lynn church, with a windmill graven
-on it. In old stained glass of the early churches windmills are shown in
-some of the landscapes; as at Great Greenford and Fairfield. In a view,
-“London in the time of the Tudors” (1560), windmills are seen; and Great
-Windmill Street commemorates to this day the location of one in the past
-in that city. Elsewhere it was the same. Rembrandt, of the early part of
-the seventeenth century, shows such mills in some of his pictures; and
-in the early prints and views of France, Germany and other countries is
-abundant evidence of the use of these old, useful machines, in various
-forms, places and ways.</p>
-
-<p>What was standard in the old world was naturally brought into the new,
-and so we find in America, concurrent with the colonies and settlements
-of the early days, the introduction and use of windmills. The Dutch in
-New Amsterdam, in 1625 and later; the Swedes on the Delaware, in 1643;
-the English in Rhode Island, in 1665 and 1675, and Boston, in 1660; and
-on the Carolina coast&mdash;all had their mills, as shown by early records,
-maps and views. And these mills were logically the types used by the<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_173" id="page_173"></a>{173}</span>
-respective settlers, according to the district from which they had come.
-For instance, the old mill in Somerville, Mass., built in 1710 by Jean
-Mallet, a French Huguenot, is of the pure French type; as were those
-near Detroit, by the followers of the fortunes of Cadillac; while those
-in Talbot, Kent and Dorset counties, Maryland, reflected the clear
-English design of the old country. The same applies to the numerous ones
-erected in the colonial days of 1725 to 1775, in Easthampton,
-Bridgehampton, etc., on Long Island; at various points on Cape Cod; at
-Nantucket (1746); in numerous instances on Newport Island, Rhode Island,
-etc. A notable one of this type and period was that on Windmill Island
-in the Delaware River, shown in an old view, “An east prospect of the
-City of Philadelphia,” 1746. All these reflected the English design of
-the emigrant settlers, bringing with them and promptly setting up and
-using the motors or machinery of the mother country.</p>
-
-<p>There are two forms into which these old mills can be grouped, <i>viz.</i>,
-vertical and horizontal. By that is meant the relative position of the
-wheel and shaft. The vertical is that form in which the wheel is
-vertical, mounted on a shaft which is horizontal or nearly so. This is
-the form almost universal, for while various instances of the other have
-been tried, scarcely one in a thousand has been used compared with the
-vertical type. The reason for this is that in the vertical form of
-wheel, its face directly confronting the wind, all vanes are acted upon
-at once, and there is not only the greatest resulting power, but the
-greatest simplicity of construction and of operation and handling. The
-horizontal wheel, on the other hand, occupying a horizontal zone and
-attached to a shaft that is vertical, like the usual small water
-turbine, in position (but not in the fluid impact) receives the wind
-impact upon only some of the vanes at a time&mdash;not the whole
-circumference&mdash;with less proportional power and greater complexity of
-construction. So secondary has been the use of this style of windmill
-that consideration of it is negligible.</p>
-
-<p>From the design standpoint, windmills involve four essential component
-parts:</p>
-
-<p>(<i>a</i>) A tower, or means of support for the moving wheel and mechanism.</p>
-
-<p>(<i>b</i>) A revolving wheel that receives the impact of the wind, converting
-it into power.<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_174" id="page_174"></a>{174}</span></p>
-
-<p>(<i>c</i>) Some means of turning the wheel, to follow the shifting of the
-wind; and,</p>
-
-<p>(<i>d</i>) The driven machinery.</p>
-
-<p>(<i>A</i>) <i>The Towers or Supports.</i>&mdash;The support in the earliest form of
-mill was merely a post, made of a suitable log or tree trunk&mdash;sometimes
-30 inches thick&mdash;upon which the entire structure was carried or hung and
-pivoted, so that it could turn freely to the wind. This was the original
-type&mdash;the old “post-mill,” appearing in the earliest known prints and
-records, and alone used until about 1650. At that time the “tower mill”
-was developed, and this, of larger possibilities, soon resulted in great
-structures of that style being built, that generally replaced and threw
-far into the shade the earlier and simple post form.</p>
-
-<p>The towers of this latter form of old windmill were made of every
-conceivable or possible form and material. Straight or cylindrical;
-tapering or cone shaped; octagonal or multi-sided; even bottle shaped,
-like a mammoth milk bottle of the present time. Again, on open arches,
-as in two notable structures later referred to&mdash;anything to carry the
-overhead work, according to the fancy or purse or conditions governing
-the builder. Of brick or stone or wood; slate, shingle or thatch
-covered, in height these towers ranged from 25 to 100 feet. The largest
-ever built was at Great Yarmouth, England, 11 stories high, and over 100
-feet, exclusive of the great vanes. The great Dutch grist mills were
-however, a close second in height, and with a base of some 35 feet and a
-top width of 16 feet were massive structures indeed. These tall
-structures were divided by various floor levels, the lower rooms thus
-formed containing the mill-stones or saw or other driven machinery,
-while the upper ones were used for living quarters or storage. The
-structure of the smaller post mills, however, being suspended on the
-centre posts, was never of stone or brick, but wholly of wood, and these
-rotating or movable buildings ranged in size from about 10 by 12 feet to
-16 by 24 feet in the larger ones, and up to two stories in height.</p>
-
-<p>At the top of the mills, of course, was located the wheel shaft and
-gearing, and to protect this from the weather there was always a
-covering or “mill head” or top, and these tops have taken a great
-variety of interesting forms, for no apparent particular reason, and yet
-often a fixed style, following some geographical location. For instance,
-in France the almost universal<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_175" id="page_175"></a>{175}</span></p>

-<p class="nind"> mill type, in which the entire
-structure is turned to follow the wind, but turning on this turntable
-base instead of a post. This form was extensively used in the saw mill
-and lumber districts of Holland.<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_178" id="page_178"></a>{178}</span></p>
-
-<p>The other variation is what may be called a hybrid form&mdash;part post type,
-part tower type. In this the contained machinery is fixed in the base,
-and does not rotate, being thus of the tower mill design; while in the
-upper part of the mill a rectangular wood housing, like a post mill, is
-pivoted and revolves with a tail beam, as in the post design. Such
-hybrid forms are found in Holland and in the valley of the Loire, at
-Saumur, Chinon, etc.</p>
-
-<p>(<i>B</i>) <i>The Sweeps.</i>&mdash;With mills built for centuries and by all
-countries, it is but natural to expect to find a wide range of form in
-this most characteristic part of a windmill&mdash;the sweeps or vanes; and in
-this one is not disappointed.</p>
-
-<p>The usual, earliest and simple form was that of a canvas or sail covered
-framework. This canvas covering could be reefed to suit the strength of
-the wind, and the four measures of sail spread were known as “full
-sail,” “quarter sail,” “sword point” and “dagger point,”
-respectively&mdash;these last two, from a fancied resemblance of the shape of
-the partly furled or reefed cloth to the point of a sword or dagger. But
-these canvas sails were laborious to handle, and in no sense automatic
-in varying the amount of surface according to the strength of the wind,
-which resulted in numerous schemes for betterment. The most successful
-of these and that known as “patent” sails was the invention of Cubit, an
-Englishman, who, a century and a quarter or so ago, devised a series of
-wood shutters forming the face of the vane, all connected by little
-levers and cords or rods to a counterweight. This, when adjusted, would
-cause the shutters to give a full, flat surface to the wind, but if the
-wind should increase to a danger point, its force would overcome the
-pull of the weight and the hinged shutters would all open the necessary
-amount to spill some of the wind through and thus ease the pressure on
-the sweeps. This was a good deal like a huge Venetian blind arrangement,
-as to the shutters or slats; and in some cases these shutters worked
-against the tension of a spring instead of the pull of a weight, and
-such were known as Meikle’s “spring sweeps.” Still another
-arrangement&mdash;Bywater’s&mdash;was that of the canvas being mounted upon a long
-roller, a good deal like a modern window shade, which rolled and
-unrolled as needed; but this was rather complicated and not much in
-vogue.</p>
-
-<p>It was usual to have four-fifths of the area of the sweeps on one side
-of the arm and one-fifth on the other, and these were<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_179" id="page_179"></a>{179}</span> “single sweeps”;
-while those in which there was a wide area on both sides&mdash;as almost the
-universal practice in France&mdash;were known as “double sweeps.” Wood has
-been used as a sweep covering as well as canvas&mdash;as for instance in
-France, where one finds some of the most primitive, crude mills, with
-sails made of thin boards interlaced or woven into the vane framework;
-while, on the other hand, one also finds quite an elaborate
-construction. This is in the mills of the Loire valley, in which a dozen
-parallel boards on each vane are rigged much like a great Japanese fan,
-which when open presents a large surface, but when closed presents but
-little, the boards or wood strips overlapping and resting one upon the
-other. This construction I have found nowhere but in that section.</p>
-
-<p>Going still further toward the primitive, we find in the Mediterranean,
-especially in the eastern end, in Asia Minor, in the vicinity of Smyrna,
-Turkey; the islands of Rhodes, Chios, Samos, and of Greece and the Sea
-of Marmora, a construction consisting simply of poles, anywhere from six
-to a dozen, stuck in the hub, carrying flying jibs, resulting in a wheel
-not far different in form from the paper spinwheel that a child may
-make! In Sicily and the Balearic islands these become a little better,
-having the wood framework to hold the canvas in the most effective
-position, and they form a transition phase between the crude jib wheels
-of the Orient and the elaborated types of the north.</p>
-
-<p>In number the arms of the usual mill were four&mdash;and almost universally,
-for this was not only the simplest and strongest construction compared
-with the difficulty of framing six or eight firmly at the hub, but also
-the most effective. For it was found that the wind had to have a certain
-amount of exit space between the vanes to get away freely, and that if
-this part of the circle was too much filled with additional sweeps no
-corresponding gain in power was secured. A few very fine examples,
-however, can be found of these five-and six-arm mills, as in the famous
-100-foot brick tower mill of Whitby, England, with five arms and its
-Turk’s head top; and at Lewes, where a fine turret mill and others have
-five and six arms.</p>
-
-<p>The length of these arms in an ordinary size mill was about 30 feet,
-giving a diameter to the wheel of 60 feet; but in the big tower mills
-referred to the arms were sometimes 50 and 60 feet long, making the
-wheels well over 100 feet in diameter. The<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_180" id="page_180"></a>{180}</span> usual speed was about 16
-revolutions a minute. If faster than 20 a danger point was reached that
-was very real, for there have been many cases of runaway mills,
-resulting from defective brakes or accident or carelessness; in which
-accidents millers have been caught in the vanes or sweeps and carried
-around and around and thrown off; or millstones bursting from too high
-speed have amputated the miller’s legs; or friction heat has set the
-structure afire.</p>
-
-<p>It is of course obvious that the surface of these windmill sails could
-not be really flat, as in that case the wind blowing against it would
-merely recoil and exert no power effect. A warp or twist was requisite,
-that the wind might give a thrust to the sail in passing through the
-wheel, precisely the reverse action of a screw propeller on a boat.</p>
-
-<p>This twist was known as the “angle of weather” or “bosom,” and the
-precise amount and form were the subjects of many early abstruse and
-learned studies. Practice finally settled down to an angle of about 17°
-at the inner end and about 8° at the outer end of the sail as being the
-most effective.</p>
-
-<p>The mounting of these huge wheels was a matter of some moment, requiring
-very heavy construction, and this resulted in the use, as a rule, in all
-the earlier and medium size mills of a great shaft or log, turned or
-hewed octagonal, carried by gudgeon bearings, on old blocks of
-soapstone, or greased oak, or cast iron bearings at either end. Into the
-outer projecting end, outside the roof, the square ends of the vane
-shafts or sweeps were mortised and bound with straps and bolts of iron.
-Later and in the larger mills, and after foundry work was more
-available, these “great-shafts” were made of iron, giving much better
-bearings and enabling the sweeps to be bolted into square openings more
-conveniently. But with all these mills, especially the early simpler
-forms, there was an enormous loss in dead weight moved and in friction,
-and it is doubtful whether in most of them 50 per cent of the force of
-the wind reached the mill stones below for useful work.</p>
-
-<p>There was a popular belief that the wind came down from the heavens
-above, and that therefore the wheel should “look up” a little, to best
-meet it; with the result that the shaft of the mill was virtually never
-set level, as one might suppose, but always with the outer end a little
-higher than the inner, which angle of<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_181" id="page_181"></a>{181}</span> uplift varied from 5° to 10°. A
-very practical result of this was also gotten, in the necessary
-clearance of the tapering tower by the revolving vanes. For these
-revolving vanes were something to be respected&mdash;a 60-foot wheel, for
-instance, weighing several tons and having a periphery speed of perhaps
-3000 feet a minute, and more than one horse or cow straying into the
-path of the arms in a mill in operation has been struck and paid the
-penalty. To guard against that, mills were at times set upon a dais or
-raised foundation, or fenced in.</p>
-
-<p>The great shaft would have mounted upon it a “great wheel,” from 8 to 12
-or 15 feet in diameter, with cog teeth, and these engaged in a pinion or
-lantern or trundle or wallower wheel, as variously styled, on a vertical
-shaft, which led to the machinery below, and there, by any suitable and
-usual gear work of the olden times, whatever grist, saw, grinding,
-stamping or other machinery was to be driven would be duly operated by
-the wind power from above.</p>
-
-<p>(<i>C</i>) <i>The Tail Beam or Vane.</i>&mdash;The third essential feature of these old
-mills was the device for keeping the wheel head-on to the wind, for the
-purpose of securing the fullest amount of power. And this was quite a
-point, in view of the perpetual shifting of the wind.</p>
-
-<p>The first arrangement was that of a long beam or pole projecting from
-the rear of the old-time post mill, used precisely like a rudder. When
-the direction of the wind changed this would be pushed from one side to
-the other, to steer the post mill structure, pivoted on the post, again
-into the wind. And in the succeeding tower mills, where only the top or
-head would be turned, the tail beam principle was continued&mdash;as best
-developed in Holland, where a somewhat elaborately braced and
-several-membered framework was carried down to a point where it could be
-reached and moved as the wind shifted. But in Holland the mills became
-of large size and the weight to be moved was great, so that the old
-Dutch miller would blow a whistle to summon his hands for help. In later
-years they made use of a further rig of chains and tackle and a wheel
-like a pilot’s, which enabled the snubbing around of the vanes and cap
-to be done far more easily than by pushing by hand alone. This old tail
-beam is, however, characteristic of the old-time small mill, and many
-are the tracks, well worn and circular, around the mill that betoken
-the<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_182" id="page_182"></a>{182}</span> years of labor of the miller, even if eased by an old cartwheel to
-carry the end of the beam, as instanced in the well-known old mill at
-Nantucket and elsewhere.</p>

-
-<p>Probably the next device for turning to the wind was the use of a chain
-pull, connected to overhead gear wheels and a cogged<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_183" id="page_183"></a>{183}</span> track; for not
-only is this found in some early mills of Holland, and in the mills at

-
-<p>But all these hand devices were completely eclipsed by another invention
-of Cubit&mdash;he of the “patent” sweep-shutter&mdash;known as Cubit’s tail vane.
-This was the use of a small wheel of from 4 to 10 vanes, usually 6,
-placed in the rear of the head of the mill, up aloft, and so connected
-by a train of small gearing that when it rotated it would turn the main
-head a little, and if need be follow up the variations of the wind. So
-accurately was this designed that it is said that even with the wind
-shifting but a couple of degrees around the horizon the tail wheel would
-then begin to turn, and with its gearing would in turn wind the mill
-head, carrying the sweeps, into the wind. This automatic arrangement was
-almost universally adopted in England, in the better class of mills;
-yet, with the stolidity of the Dutch temperament, apparently content to
-continue with hand labor as did their grandfathers,<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_184" id="page_184"></a>{184}</span> this admirable
-device was rarely transplanted even to a place as nearby as Holland.</p>
-
-<p>Turning now from the mechanical side of these old mills, as above, it is
-interesting to note the varied forms, uses and characteristics as found
-in the diverse parts of the world, and in the variety of races where and
-by whom these old home-made motors have been used.</p>

-
-<p>Holland is usually taken as the home of the windmill, but that is so
-only in the greater proportionate number there in use than elsewhere. It
-is not true as regards origin nor the best development of them. It is a
-country notably flat, without water power, on the sea coast, and
-requiring great pumping equipment for draining, etc. This early resulted
-in the great number of windmills there found and associated with that
-little kingdom. It is said that in early days there were 10,000 of them.
-The greater number of them were used for lifting water to drain the
-“polders,” or meadows or lowlands, through the medium of a scoop wheel
-or Archimedes screw. Some of them can yet be seen and in use, with fat
-Dutch babies apparently ever on the edge of falling in the sluiceways,
-yet never doing so. Nearly all of<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_185" id="page_185"></a>{185}</span> these mills have been replaced by
-great steam-driven government pumping stations. For sawing wood, also,
-great numbers are yet used in the Zaandam district, where several
-hundred can be seen almost adjacent, a vista and forest of windmills.
-And in the heart of the chief cities one yet sees, here and there, an
-old-time brick tower mill, probably 200 years old&mdash;a family heritage,
-with its clean and trim curtained little Dutch windows, its individual
-name, as of a ship, such as “The Admiral” or “The Parrot,” over the
-door, and its old coat of arms and carvings and touches of color. For
-the Dutchman is fond of his substantial woodwork, and of his bits of
-color; and such finds expression in his mills, where carving like the
-stern of an old galley and color stripings of all the rainbow are both
-tucked in and flagrantly added.</p>

-
-<p>The characteristic of the Dutch mill is, however, that of a thatch
-covering, both on sides and top, on the usual size common
-mill&mdash;something not found in any other country. It is said of them that
-there is also a code worked out&mdash;sort of a wigwag or semaphore
-system&mdash;so that by the position of the vanes as left when shutting down,
-the long-distance observer can read whether a carpenter is needed or a
-baby has been born, etc., etc. Certain it is that the mills make fine
-elevations for flag-flying on holiday occasions, for then the staunch
-colors of Holland will be found on the flagpoles atop the most of them.
-In noting the Dutch mills, one cannot overlook&mdash;nor wants to&mdash;the
-picturesque little “petmolens” or “jaskers”&mdash;diminutive post pumping
-mills, for small fields only&mdash;that, with long, slender vanes, seen
-through the haze or afar, almost suggest one of the old rocs from Sinbad
-the Sailor, caught in the act of alighting.</p>

-<p>England, while numerically far inferior to Holland, is yet far in
-advance from the viewpoint of the fullest engineering development of
-this world’s motor, as may be gathered from what has been said above as
-to the automatic shutters, tail vanes, etc. The largest, the most varied
-and the most efficient are found there. Many fine examples of these
-mills can be seen, a few of which are still in operation. In the south
-of England there are plenty of old wood structures of all forms&mdash;of
-which the turret is perhaps the most locally characteristic. This is a
-huge, or at least large size, post mill, often for some fine estate,
-with the base enclosed with a circular low or one-story building, used
-for storage, so that the external effect suggests a turret. In central
-England a good number of the tall brick tower mills yet stand.</p>

-<p>For picturesqueness, however, no country surpasses old France. There the
-mills are small; the huge, towering structure<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_188" id="page_188"></a>{188}</span> of the Dutch and English
-is unknown. But one can find many of great antiquity, great variety of
-form and of great charm. The type seems to be the true cylindrical
-tower&mdash;not tapering&mdash;with the cone top. In the racetrack at Longchamps,
-near Paris, is an instance, while on the golf course at St. Lunaire,
-overlooking the sea coast, on the Channel, as in innumerable other
-places in the northern part of France, these little sentries of the past
-can be found. Picturesque as they are, however, they are not yet as much
-so as even an older and cruder form suggesting an old blockhouse. For
-above the stone first story is an overhanging wood second story, as so
-well instanced at St. Briac. And in the Loire valley are the very unique
-hybrid mills with the folding boards vane arrangement, already referred
-to, which at Saumur date back to 1682, as doubtless do the others of
-that not-to-be-found-elsewhere form.</p>

-one on top of Montmartre, in the Moulin de la Galette grounds, is
-perhaps the most prominent. It is one of the two or three remaining that

-as shown in several views of old Paris. What changes it has seen in its
-600 years of accredited age! In its timbers are shot and balls of the
-revolutions of 1814 and 1871. Within are the old bells and bunks and
-shrines of the generations of millers who operated it, one of whom is
-said to have been killed and quartered and hung on the four arms of his
-own mill by the successful assailants. In the same premises is a dear
-little miniature mill, which, with diminutive stones of but 18 or 20
-inches in diameter, was used for grinding spices, in place of the usual
-grain for bread.</p>

-<p>In Belgium we find, in the main, the post and tower mills of<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_190" id="page_190"></a>{190}</span> Holland
-and the Netherlands; while in Germany, as well, the similarity to the
-Dutch mills is the only or chief characteristic. In Denmark and Sweden
-and in Iceland are the usual mills of this section, excepting that their
-octagonal, typical squatty grist mill nearly always has the Turk’s head
-top instead of the irregular shape of Holland and Germany. And so
-pronounced is that that in Lawrence, Kan., where a mill was erected in
-1858, with a Swedish top, inquiry develops that it was by Swedish
-emigrants. Iceland can claim probably the most northern mill ever
-erected, for in Reykiavik, a little isolated town of about 3000
-inhabitants, we find an old mill, probably the first and only motor in
-the early days in Iceland.</p>

-<p>And in closing this review of old windmills there is no instance to
-which reference should be made of quite as much interest as the old mill
-at Newport, known to every American antiquary and which, some two or
-three generations ago, was ingeniously ascribed to the Norse in the
-period of 1100 or thereabouts. This theory, while highly picturesque,
-was unfortunate chiefly in never having anything except surmise to back
-it up. Not a jot nor tittle of record or physical remains could be
-developed to substantiate it, and it has long since been practically
-dropped by most students of American history. And when the following,
-that has in recent years been developed, is borne in<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_196" id="page_196"></a>{196}</span> mind, there seems
-no vestige of reason left in the Norse theory. There is no question as
-to the following facts in relation to the Newport mill, and I speak with
-confidence, having in person surveyed and thoroughly investigated both
-it and its English prototype, as described:</p>

-<p>In 1675 Governor Benedict Arnold (the grandfather of the traitor) was in
-charge of the then early colony of Rhode Island. Sixty years before he
-had been born in the Warwickshire section, England, in which the Peyto
-estate was perhaps the greatest and finest. On that estate there was
-completed the most elaborate windmill ever built. Inigo Jones, England’s
-great architect of that time, designed it, and it was unique in its open
-arch design, its finely chiselled stonework and unusual adornment. Young
-Arnold was a lad of 17 at that time, and the building of this beautiful
-and remarkable windmill, in 1632, was, with small<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_197" id="page_197"></a>{197}</span></p>

-<p class="nind">doubt, a marked episode in his life and knowledge. Forty odd years
-later, he, by the chance of fate, was the Governor of the Rhode Island
-Colony. With the destruction of a previous wood windmill of 1665, blown
-down in a great storm, it became his duty to provide another one for the
-use of the little colony. And there is small doubt, indeed, that in
-doing that he undertook to provide a mill that should be as nearly as
-possible a copy of the old mill at Chesterton, near Leamington&mdash;the best
-mill of which he knew. And so, without the measurements as to the
-general arrangement, size and design, from memory only, he there built,
-with the most limited facilities, a virtual replica of the
-Leamington-Peyto-Jones mill. In order to secure greater<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_198" id="page_198"></a>{198}</span> permanence and
-protection against Indian attacks the mill was built of stone instead of
-wood.</p>

-and the interior arrangements are in substance the same throughout. It
-needs only the comparison of the plans of the two&mdash;side by side&mdash;to be
-satisfied as to that. Governor Arnold’s birthplace and connection afford
-the reason of the similarity, and his will even speaks of “my stone
-built windmill.” This old structure, still standing&mdash;as to its walls&mdash;in
-Truro Park, Newport, R. I., is perhaps America’s greatest colonial
-relic, and with its prototype of Chesterton constitutes the most unique
-pair of windmills, having the greatest historic interest, of any
-attaching to our country’s windmill history.</p>

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
-including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
-because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
-people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
-spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To
-SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
-particular state visit http://pglaf.org
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
-works.
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
-concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
-with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
-Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
-
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
-unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
-keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
-
-
-Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
-
- http://www.gutenberg.org
-
-This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
