Read a brief summary of this topic. windmill, device for tapping the energy of the wind by means of sails mounted on a rotating shaft. The sails are mounted at an angle or are given a slight twist so that the force of wind against them is divided into two components, one of which, in the plane of the sails, imparts rotation. Like waterwheels, windmills were among the original prime movers that replaced human beings as a source of power.

Garden windmills spin when the wind or breeze blows, creating movement and visual interest to complement colorful plants or fill an empty space. Some windmills spin horizontally and some spin vertically, and you can get them in beautiful color combinations to match or contrast your flowers, plants, or the color of your garden house, or home.

In 1854, Daniel Halladay developed the American-type windmill. It was smaller, less expensive and could be shipped and built easily. Its sails were held into the wind by a weight, which would rise slowing to reduce the area of the sails when the wind was too fast. Traditional cloth covered sails were soon replaced with smaller wooden blades.

I have created this webpage as a scrapbook of sorts to showcase some of the more interesting postcards from my postcard collection. Much of my collection is inherited from my grandmother, Mildred E. Berwick Casartello. I have categorized the postcards in various groups, so you will find them on multiple pages. The tags line at the bottom of each postcard entry has links to each category that you will find that entry on. |
