- The Post-Symposium Mill Tour of Romania
by Michael Harverson
One of the major events was a coach trip to Romania, organized by
György Balázs and his team. The tour, which covered over 2,600 kilometers into Romania
went as far north as Cluj, east as Brasov and south to Baile Herculane. The dozen of mills
the group visited, will be the subject of a future number of IM. The most
exciting thing was, that these mills were mostly still in regular use.

- The Ox-Powered Inclined Treadwheel at New Salem, Illinois, USA
by Carter Litchfield
When a mill historian drives across the flat plains states of
mid-America such as Illinois or Iowa, he or she is almost sure to notice the lack of
suitable sites for watermills. To be sure, creeks and streams abound, but their fall is
mostly too gradual for efficient waterpower production. How did the early settlers on
these flat plains grind their grain before steam engines were widely available? - Read
this report and see the pictures and drawings.
- American Wind Engines for Europe
by Owen Ward
Discover more about the 40-foot Halladay and Wheeler's Patent
