The greater the height of the tower which carries the mill the
greater will be the amount of effective wind obtained to drive
the mill, but at the same time there are practical
considerations which limit the height. In America many towers
are as much as 100 ft high, but ordinary workmen do not
voluntarily climb to such a height, with the result that the
mill is not properly oiled. About 40 ft is the usual height in
this country, and 60 ft should be used as a maximum.

Mr. George Phelps, in a paper read by him in 1906 before the
Association of Water Engineers, stated that it was safe to
assume that on an average a fifteen miles per hour wind was
available for eight hours per day, and from this he gave the
following figures as representing the approximate average duty
with, a lift of l00 ft, including friction:--
