Booth (McDonald) windmill
Posted: Sat Aug 24, 2024 3:40 pm
Hi - I am a new member & live in Hawkes Bay New Zealand
I have recently aquired a Booth windmill. It is a "Self Oiler" made in the late 1940's - but probably pre war design. It was made by Booth McDonald - probably in Christchurch NZ and probably the design was copied from an overseas unit.
My windmill is pretty much complete - down to the ratchet handle for altering the position of the tail. There is no cable from the ratchet & I don't know how this is supposed to work.
Can anyone help with info or diagrams or photos.
Cheers
Golly
