THE ARMS—The several sectionsin the wheel are each attached to an armand there are as many of one as outside rim is bolted to the outerend, while the inner rim is fastened to abridge near the middle of the arm. Theshape (spread) of the arm, its connec- branTi^ord, Canada tion to the hub and the number of bridges or braces to stiffenand support it, has everything to do with the staying qual-ities of the wheel. We use more braces than others on ourwheel, arms or spokes. It is a strong arm ; able to defenditself against all danger and from destruction ; it can betrusted. THE VANE—The Vanes on all our windmills are verystrong and rigid. They cannot sag or twist. We use agalvanized steel pipe for the backbone and the vane blade isbolted to this by clips which are riveted to the blade on allour mills except the Imperial, on which we use heavy. Imperial Vane galvanized steel angles. The angles prevent sagging, andalso braces the Vane from twisting sideways. The Vaneblade has an outer round steel rim and is supported by anglesteel bars running crosswise on one side and lengthwise onthe other, riveted securely to the blade, and is galvanizedafter completion. THE SHAFTING—The Shafting used in the manu-facture of all our mills is the best cold rolled steel and is bothtrue and smooth. This is a very important part in awindmill. THE BEARINGS—We were the pioneers in Canadain using Roller and Ball Bearings on Windmills and theyhave proven an unqualified success. They cost far more tomanufacture than any other Bearing that has ever been puton a windmill. Our patent No. 48,143, wholly protects us inthe use of the Roller bearings on Windmills. All our Bear-ings run in a hardened steel case which is one of the char-acteristics ot their lasting and easy-running qualities. They GOOLD, SHAPLEV & MUIR CO., WMlTE
