Australian Mills

Post by Peter vk »

Hi everyone, I finished restoring 5 of the 7 Australian mills that I got in a trade last winter. A 6 foot Comet, 5 foot Alston Aqua, 6 Foot Alston double crank, and 2 6 Foot Alston planetary.

For some reason while laying in bed trying to decide if I wanted to get up of course my bladder said you must. I got to thinking about that gear setup. I knew it had a special name as I have a winch like that. It finally came to me.
