Windshaft
From High Salvington Mill Trust
Back to Mill Site
The windshaft is rare as it is a single oak tree (original), which holds the two large driving wheels. The shaft is inclined about 10 % towards the breast of the mill and rests on a neck bearing. The end of the windshaft protrudes out of the front of the mill and has fixed to it the cast iron canister or poll end, into which the sweep stocks are fitted .
