The metal blades and tail vane of a farm windmill that pumps water from the ground are seen close up alongside a restored 1901 barn that can be visited at the History Center located in Grape Day Park in Escondido, California, USA. The tail keeps the blades facing into the wind so that the windmill provides maximum power to the pump.
