1903 was in St. Louis?
Re: Black and White windmill shots
I don't know exactly where it was. Wasn't St Louis 1904?
Re: Black and White windmill shots
Are those blades where the vane would be? Going back to the windmill raising picture on page one I finally figured out what the ladies were standing in front of. The water tank!
Re: Black and White windmill shots
I have a book "Windmills of the World" by William McCook (Australia) reprinted by Clyde Eide that has a page devoted to the Reinsch Windmills. Some of the sketches show what looks like a smaller fan/wheel where the tail would be on other mills. I have also seen Dutch style mills with the same type of wheel. The Danish Windmill Museum at Elkhorn Iowa has a similar wheel to track it into the wind.

I guess it works like the tail rotor on a helicopter.

Re: Black and White windmill shots
Thanks for the shots. I grew up in FT Worth. When I found out there was a Ft Worth windmill I had to have one. On the corner of Montgomery St and I 30 there is a big Antique Mall today.
Re: Black and White windmill shots
I posted these photos on the old site. One of my oldest sister and her husband on our farm in OK about 1950. The other one is of my Mama pumping water under the windmill maybe late 40's. From the way she is dressed it might be Sunday and after Church she is getting water to boil potatoes for dinner.
