drawings/tracings of mill mechanisms, particularly bell alarms and sack hoists (3 pages);
Suffolk windmills begining with 'W' listed at 'Place access points' below (3 cards);
Also a bundle of loose notes mostly focusing on Suffolk mills, some being undated, those that are ranging in date from 6 October 1928 to 29 April 1932.
Notes, sketches and correspondence. In two folders, "post mills" and "tower mills". These seem to relate to papers presented at the Newcomen Society in 1961-2. Adverts for these are included in a third folder. Information on Newton and Dale Abbey windmills is in separate folders (REXW-11860 and 11861).
