Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Thanks a lot!

Don’t know if Ken Obrock is in this new forum,but on the old forum he had posted a formula that,so many feet of height of a tower equaled so many feet between the legs.Anyone remember or know that formula?

It’s in the Trade Fair topic below

Always wondered myself.I built this for a guy in Nevada last summer.

Hope the picture came with this message. Here is a picture of all the Halliday Standard hardware back from the powdercoater.

Both wood wheel sections are the same and wheel hardware is the same.I have both mills,if you have questions or need recasts,give me a call- 630-638-5725

Loren had a couple for sale there.

Yes,the USWE vaneless wheel sections on the Batavia mill,the bottom picture,are backwards,but they’ve since been corrected.

Batavia’s Halliday vaneless is currently getting a new wheel,it’s been down over a year.and I am told the Challenge vaneless is next.It looks to need extensive work also.They just have one fellow working on them part time.Seems like the upkeep gets farther behind on the 15 or so mills that they have.

The Halliday Standard at the Batavia trade fair was assembled backwards.we often kidded Bob Popeck about the error. The mill is currently in pieces in storage at Batavia city hall,still waiting for decisions on where and how to display it.
