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:-- TABLE NO. 14 DUTY OF WINTDMILU |
