486. Plan of a vertical wind-mill. The sails are so pivoted as to present their edges in returning toward the wind, but to present their faces to the action of the wind, the direction of which is supposed to be as indicated by the arrow.


Notes:

We believe our animation correctly illustrates the motion of this mill. In Brown’s illustration, the sails appear to be flipping too early.
