History
Description
Veldkamps Meuln is a seven[failed verification] storey tower mill with a stage at third[failed verification] floor level (Dutch: stellingmolen). The cap is covered with dakleer. Four common sails with a span of 20.20 metres (66 ft 3 in) are carried on a cast iron windshaft. The sails are winded by a tailpole and winch. The windshaft carries a brake wheel which has 59 teeth. This drives a wallower with 30 teeth. The wallower is at the top of the upright shaft, which has a great spur wheel at its bottom. This has 86 teeth. It drives two stone nuts, which drive the millstones. The stone nuts have 24 and 26 staves respectively. The millstones are driven overdrift.[4]
