The Rural Voice, 1990-11, Page 29ONCE GONE -
BUT BACK
AGAIN:
Well-known commercial corn
grower in the late 40s and 50s
Sam Newell of Wentworth County
has been restoring antique farm
equipment for many years.
The late model Beatty 1938 patent
windmill (opposite page and cover
photo) originally came from a farm
near Milton, Ontario. It is one
of two restored wind machines
incorporated on Newell's
attractive farm home site.
The earlier windmill with wooden
blades (left), patented 1918, came
from a Paisley area farm. Newell
meticulously replaced each blade.
Each blade had to be set at a
distinctly individual angle.
