WINDMILL FOR £3
OLD PARTS AND MACHINES USED.
Many a smallholder and poultry farmer has wished for a windmill which would grind his grain while he carried out other tasks.
Mr George Court, of Sutton Valence, Kent, has solved the problem by building a windmill of his own at a cost of about £3. He used old car parts and scrap metal in building the mill, which stands nine feet high and has a sail-span of five feet six inches. It drives an old hand machine, and can be adapted for other tasks, such as sawing logs. Mr. Court has farmed in Kent for many years, and has made other ingenious labour-saving appliances, one of which (a wood-drier) was manufactured from an old kitchen range.
