Black and White windmill shots

Looks like a power mill to me. Don't know what kind.

[Wayne]

Looks like an early metal Hummer.

[Bryon]

Has a football shaped weight.

Only one I know of with a football weight is an L. They had wooden wheels though. Will need to check to see if there was an option for power mill design, and steel wheel. Seems like a stretch.

I don't think its a football, I think its a sphere like an A Monitor and it just looks like a football in the photo. The arms are metal and note the large hub, the hub spider kind of looks like others we know. The sections don't have any wood in them like the early Elgins did and notice the size in comparison to the man straddling the middle sail. To me, the main large bevel gear is the most interesting. Look at how it is shaped, instead of the spokes flowing out from the outer circle like most of them, they are turned a half turn so the edge faces front and back while the flat plain contradicts the outer band's face. Very unusual. I find it a very interesting powermill.

It is a big strong one. Those men are standing,setting on it. The only two metal bladed umbrellas I know of are the Hummer and Dempster, of course doesn't mean there weren't others. Where are the Hummer folks? I'd like to hear there thoughts.

I am really thinking it is a Stover Power Mill, they had a round ball and metal sections, the gear doesn't look right but it is the closest thing I can come up with? Any experts got a better idea?

A Goold, Shapley & Muir double geared ideal on my late friends farm north of Craven Saskatchewan. I'd just re lettered the vane for him and then he passed away shortly after.

It’s over looking the city park in Wamego Kansas for everybody to enjoy. As far as I remember everything is still their on the inside except for where they cut in the electric motor to make it move. It’s about 40 miles South of where I grew up. We were there for a field trip in high school, that’s been 20 plus years ago.
