Does anyone have any information such as a parts list or photo of a Perkins Vaneless wooden mill?

This Perkins catalogue covers nearly everything Perkins made.

Wow that's awesome. One for the library!

For sure! I'll add it as soon as I can.

Man, I was all excited about this but every time I download it, after 10 mins it says "Failed to load PDF Document" anyone else having this problem? Thanks

Windybob that is one you need to print out. It does not show a vaneless
mill though.I didn't think Perkins ever made a vaneless mill.

No problems here downloading the file.

As many Trade Fairs as Paul has been a part of if he doesn't know of a Vaneless Perkins probably a good chance there wasn't one. Of course there are still new models coming up so won't say never.

Let me check the green book today about the vaneless. Will get back to ya'll.

I was able to purchase the governor weight,counterbalance weight, and miscellaneous pieces to this mill this winter. The older gentleman who is in mid 90's told me it is from a Perkins "basket" mill. Parts numbers are 10K28 and so on. These weights are listed in the weight books as Perkins Vaneless. I'm told one of the Perkins catalogs show a vaneless mill. any help will be appreciated. The counterbalance weight is a ball,made in two halves. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks,Ron
