Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Windy's question from two yeas ago , what is the revolutions ration to shaft speed .

Sheesh Mike, I can't even remember 2 weeks ago, much less 2 years ago. LOL

Don't know if anybody cares or you may already know about this book. There is guy from Canada his name on Smokstak is G Willikers. He has wrote a book about Goold Shaply & Muir. It's for sale I think it's $60.

Wayne, I will have to look into that, thanks

Mike, the New Ideals are 1 revolution of the wheel to 8 3/4 revolutions of the out put shaft. The Ideals are 1 to 6

Here are a couple of pics of the hub I made for Pauls mill, it was quite a job

is there any windmill part that you cant make?

paul in canada

great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is amazing thinking and craftsmenship ! I still remember the windmill repair of the oblong gear section that was cast & machined to complete that really odd mechanism to replace the broken missing gear part

Windy , you asked that question on September 7th , 2022

Thank you for photographing & sharing the process of creating a duplicate ITLP . that is an "impossible to locate part "

Impressive work
