    Re: Old Miller Gustav's Post Mill —Manfred Moolhuysen
   (...) Looks pretty good, Anthony. Good idea to use the boat ladders. Here is some constructive critisim, which you can hopefully use to improove the design: Such a large window, like the one you have made, was never on the sides of a post mill (all (...)

     Still more snippage. With sone new crossposts! (...) Im not so keen on motor wires if they can be avoided. I'm thinking that if you were clever you could have as much rotation as you like, because you could house the motors in the base. Use a (...)

   (...) (URL) for the record, Larry, I'm. not sure I agree with you.

   (...) I'll buy that. What I did was spotted one that didn't have the front hanging down lower (after seeing a lot that did) and assumed, "no skirt". Functionally if all the sides hang down would that (aerodynamically) do exactly the same thing. Not (...) (21 years ago, 1-Feb-04, to lugnet.castle)
