The Art Of Building Windmills PDF Download

Excerpt from Windmills and Wind Motors: How to Build and Run Them I have endeavoured in the following pages not only to interest the practical amateur in a branch of mechanics unfortunately much neglected, but also to present a series of practical original de signs that should prove useful to every reader from the youngest to the most advanced. This is admittedly a large undertaking, and would be of doubtful wisdom, but for the sparseness of the literature of the subject. There is, however, no other book in the language, large or small, dealing with the matter in the way here pre sented, and indeed only one other, as far as I know, having the subject of windmills for its sole topic. I venture to hope therefore that this little book will help to arouse something of the interest the subject deserves but has not hitherto received.
