Flint and walling wheel?

[TdcJD]

Sails on top of rim instead of going through it, would that make this an open gear flint and walling wheel?

Yes if it's it's a F and W. wheel with out seeing the sail ties.

Yah Thomas , you found what you needed !

[TdcJD]

If sail ties are the only way to tell it from some other wheel, that's close enough for me, it certainly looks f&w from the few pics I could find online. Finally the last missing part to my first windmill. Just have to drive all the way to Fort Worth to get it.. haha

Some are riveted, some are bolted, must have had some sails replaced at one time

[Windcatcher530 Dan]

Yep those are Flint and Walling sail ties.

I believe that is F&W Steel Star

Now my old steel star can finally be complete!

YaHoo another one saved !! Do you have all your wheel arms too Thomas.

[TdcJD]

Yes I got those along with the tail from Steve Adams a while back
