Windmill restoration: eight pages of draft narrative rehearsing the demise of wind and watermills since the late 19th c. and extolling the efforts of John Russell to restore and preserve Union Mill, Cranbrook. The narrative rehearses the preservation efforts made by a number of local authorities (counties listed in 'Place access points' below) arguing that it should be essential for such work to be their responsibility.
Windmills still in operation: notes running from back-to-front in the notebook listing, 'How many still in use', which are 'Workable' and 'When used and why'.

'The Windmills of Suffolk, Part II, Tower Mills' - manuscript
Part of Rex Wailes Collection
90 pages of manuscript for a paper entitled, 'The Windmills of Suffolk, Part II, Tower mills' which begins, 'The tower mills of Suffolk, like the post mills, suffered heavily between the years 1926 & 1939'.
Wailes notes that whilst smock and tower mill are listed separately at the end of the paper for the purpose of comparing their operational status in 1926 and again in 1937-1939, in the remainder of the paper, 'both smock and tower mills will be dealt with as one type'. The paper then tracks the research noted in REXW-NOT-039-001.
