The
Early Days of TIMS and How TIMS Developed Further
by Yolt Ijzerman
During the first symposium delegates of the different countries
represented, deciced to meet again the next year. The meeting of what at that time was
called "The International Permanent Committee", was held in 1967 under the
sponsorship of De Hollandsche Molen in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. During this meeting,
where delegates of nine countries were present (DK, GB, F, SF, D, NL, E, S, P), it was
decided that the second symposium would be held in Denmark in 1969. During this meeting it
was suggest by Mr. Hotke to establish an organization called: "International
Molinological Society".
Thirty Three Years On
by Michael Harverson and Claude Rivals
When Cluade Rivals returned to Toulouse from the First Symposium
in Autumn 1965 he wrote a long article for "La Dépêche du Midi" to explain the
concerns of a special interest group newly baptized MOLINOLOGISTS by the
moving spirit and organizer of this conference, J.M. dos Santos Simões.
The younger generation of TIMS members today have cause to be
grateful for the initial organizational drive of Simões and for the recording experience
of Rex Wails, thogether with his passionate advocacy of windmills Anders Jespersen.
These Molinological Fathers, thogether with millwrights like
Ernst Hoop, Derek Ogden, and Hermann Peel, professional millers like Charlie Howell and an
architect, Ken Mejor, with his sustained and deeply informed enthusiasm, all of whom soon
joined them, have been, in different ways, an inspriation to each of us in TIMS who set so
high a price upon our love of mills.
The First Transactions
by Michael Harverson
The Transactions of the First Symposium held in Portugal in 1965
were not published until 1977. Thy were dedicated to the memory of the organizer of the
symposium and the coiner of ther term "molinology", Mr. J.M. dos Santos Simões,
woh had once optimistically planned publication for 1966 and who sadly died suddenly in
1970. As happens with conferences which may be one-off occasions and where the recording
facilities have not been given sufficient thought, little remained afer the passage of
years apart from some original typescripts used as pre-papers at Cascais and what had
lodged in the fertile memory of Anders Jespersen. He had taken many excellent photos
during the Symposium and, most importantly, had presented a paper at the Second Symposium
in 1969, entitled "What w learned during th First International Symposium on
Molinology in Cascais in October 1965", which appeared in the Second Transactions in
1971.

Wailes during the Gerneral Meeting at the fourth Symposium in 1977 at Matlock
Anders Jespersen and TIMS
by David Jones
The celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of TIMS is an
appropriate moment to pay a tribute to some of those whose work developed molinology to a
level where an international society became necesseary. One of them is Anders Jespersen,
who organized the 2nd symposium in Denmark.

I am writing this article as a brief introduction
to northern Spanish mills with some trepidation as a foreigner with but short residence
while working in the country. Unfortunately, the literature on Spanish mills and
industrial archeology generally seems to be rather scarce, and such as there is usually
provides tourist type information put out by local councils; the few available mor serious
works tend to be similarly parochial to particular areas. Spanish members might also like to comment on why their millwrights in earlier years prefered the horizontal to the vertical wheel, and indeed why their early engineers considered them to be more efficient. 5 pages and many pictures. |
| The restauration of old mills is welcomed by
those people who are interested in keeping these cultural monuments. However, meetings of molinologists show that there are different opinions concerning the restauration of mills. The points of view depend on people's relation to the mills to be restored an on their special knowledge of mill construction. This article is intended to show the present stat of this subject in the eastern part of Germany as well as to stimulate discussion. 3 pages and some pictures |
