Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

I'm sure you mint Fairbanks Morse Dan. To Jason you said it was on a tower too for the windmill. No such thing really. Towers could be 80 ft. Depending on what was around that they had to get the windmill above so it set in whats called clean air. Give us some pictures. When you say it rattled ...

Things could have been different. I salute the ladies called Wasp ...
