The typical American Aeromotor windmill looks like this (click). Aeromotor still makes windmills in San Angelo, Texas. Gee, I wonder if they were there when I lived in San Angelo....

I live in an old farm house on a ridge (2,300 feet elevation) in the California Sierra Nevada foothills. I've often thought about buying an old Aeromotor and restoring it, and putting it here on our ridge.
