It is built low down on the top of the tower, eliminating the severe racking strains and wea r caused by the leverage of high and heavy super-structures.

It is made throughout of semi-steel, cast steel and mild . reel, giving the greatest pos ible strength for the weight of material used . The design also lends itself to withst:rnd great strain with minimum weight. and the form of all castings is such that no internal trains are set up during m:mufacture.

STROKE

The length of stroke has been fixed to suit the average conditions of depth of bore and diamete r of pump cylinder to raise the maximum quantity of wate r with the 1 ightest service:ible winds.

CRANK SHAFT

Large diameter ·olid special steel crankshafts. forged by special machine ry, :ire provided with long 1ourn:.d · on each side of the crank; they are perfectly interch:inge:ible. hence. should it be neces,an: through rn\· c::iusr t•l replace onto> . anv h:indv man ·011!,! ctCJ the

job in a few hours. There are no separate crank discs. pins. or nuts to work loose and cause trouble.

WHEEL SPIDERS These a re steel castings fully annealed. and are

considerably lighter than cast iron for a given strength. They are bored out a definite amount 5maller than the diameter of the crankshaft. are heated and shrunk on the shaft against shoulders turned thereon. and are also strongly keyed. These spide rs cannot -hi ft or work loose, ;rnd will never give trouble .\lany pounds \\·eight are -;aved to ou r clients in freight, railage and carriage.

BEARIJ.\"GS Two long bearings of special anti- friction metal are

provided for the crankshaft, one being placed on either side of the crank. T hese shaft bea ring liners and also those on the crank-pin are die-cast and therefore accurate in ail dimensions. In the end of the rear be:ir­ing is pbced the ball thrust bea ring. Any of these bear­ings may be renewed in a few minutes. All bearing are lubricated with our I 13 C. Special CrankshJft Crease.

is bolted an accurately machined sp herical steel cast ing, which. with the housing piv­oted to the inner end of the rocker arm, comprises the universal swivel. free to rotate and oscillate in any position as re­quired by the varying direction of the wind. The swive l is placed just below the platform \\here it can be examined both from above and below, and there is nothing in the way to interfere with greasing or adj usting same.

bolted to the ends of the angles which support the platform. At the inner end the universal swivel is pivoted. The length of the l.B.C. "Simplex" rocker is twice as great as on other windmills, and gives what is practically a straight line motion to top end of the pump rods.

I.B.C. ·'Simplex" Windmill BEARIXG

The thrust bearing is the fulcrum from \\"hlch the pressure of the wind reacts, and is therefore extremely important to the efficient working and uurability of the windmill. The I.B.C. ··simplex" ball thrust bearing is maue from the finest material and highest grade' of work-

, manship that the world can supply. It is fitted at the rear end of the crankshaft \\"ithin the back main bearing and can be examine'd or taken out anu replaceu in a few minutes, the only tool required heing a spanner to tlt the nuts of the back beanng cap of tht> cra'1.l<::>hatt. lt runs continuously in the ~TPase of the back hearin:;.

B.\.LA:\"CE WEIGHTS Bala.nee weights are supplied on all l.B.C. "Simplex"

\Vindmills, to balance the pump rous. anu a porti"n or the water column. ThP weig-hts are rel:ttively :;mall and are placed on the outer end of that wheel arm which is directly opposite the' crank. These weights :;houltl h•' .;;o placed that the ·windmill will stop in a calm with the plunger at the top •JI' the stroke.

GOVER~OR

The function at' the governing device in a windmill is to hold the wheel facing the wind until the pre,.,.ure exceetls a. certain limit, after which the wheel is allowed to blow round horizontally, by stages, towards the vane, a,; the velocity nf the' \\"ind increases. This rPduces the •'rtective area of the sails, conseriuently it prevents the wheel racing and incidentally re'duces the strain o n the tnwer and the entire mechanism. To keep the whPel facinc; the wind and to pr<"ve·nt it blowing- toward the \.ine requires, therefore, somp <lefinite resistance," accord­in.:; tn the velocitv of the winu in which is desired the null . hottld work . - In thP I.D.C. "Simplex" this rPsistance 1s the detinite \veight ol' the vanP, raise1l a tlt>linite he'ic;ht. for evp1·y <legree by which the anc-l•' bf'tW<'en th<' wheel 1 nd th<> vane i8 rt'duced ~" th<' pt·Pssttre "I' th<' wind inr1·pasP"s beyonu the prP-ddPrmirwd amnunt ;tll.,w<Ll>le

WL'\D WHEEL This is very strongly designed on scientific and

mechanical lines. enabling i t to withstand the' heavy strain s put on it by the forces of the wind during storms . • The wheel arms are str ongly b r aced , a n d all parts are of exact dimensions, being made by spe"c ial machine1·y. The sails are correctly desig-ned, the area, angle anu ::;et being such that e'very square inc h con tnbutes its quota to utilis ing the power of the wind. This correct proportion ·1nd the absence of unnecessary projecting parts does away with all roa r ing noises; in fact in this anu all •H her respects it is the' ::iilent "Simplex" \\'inrlm1ll. ThP , dl:o are ma.de of heavy gaug-e o-alvanized tite~l . corru~ate1l at hoth ends, which greatly adds to their stiffnPss, b>'sidt's giving them a very neat app-earancP.

There is no ·lang1>r of the \Vinclmill running backward when governing in a .;alP.

IXSPECTIO~ LADDER Close to the underside or the wind wheel is a lar<:P

square> platform built of he:tvy harclwoo•l and attached to the towp1· with strong steel angles. This platform is reached hy a stP.Pl ladder. Above the platform :s a strong steel inspection ladder secured to the turntahle ·tnd revolving with it. as illustrated in Fig. A.3. When the attendant steps on this ladde r it ceases to be a matter for concern to him how the' direction of the wind varies. t'or he is PPrfectly safe. When he reaches the top the1·p is behind him a safety bar which makes it impossible for him to fall. From this posi tion all bearings and work­ing parts are easily reached, so that lubrication is easily tttenrletl to an•! inspection made without clang-f'r.

1.8.C. '"Simplex" \VinJmill Towers are t11e strongest and simplest towers made. The tower legs, which are of angle steel. butt one on the other. and are secured with heavy angle steel spliced pieces placed inside the legs ~md strongly bolted. This method prevents all she:uing stn:~s on the bolts and makes a firm leg from top to bottom. The girts are of angle steel and the braces are flat steel. All bolt holes are punched i-n. jigs with special machinery \\"hich ensures accu~cy in every case. making them go together easily. The legs are in 10-feet sections. \\hich make them easy to erect and also to

handle \\"hen transporting, minimum rates of railage and less liability to damage in transit are also obtained.

All 1. 8.C. "Simplex" towers have four legs (which is the strongest form that can be built). The platforms are extra large and .ue m:iJe ot first quality hardwood supported by steel :ingles strongly bolted to the tower.

A strong laJder of ~reel is bolted to one side of the tower :ind extends from the ground·to the platform.

Bush timber posts are not recommended for towers as these move in time mnn~ to the action of the wet weather and other conditions.

Al l towers are we ll pain ted with anti-rust pain t when alt work on them h:is been completed.
