Hmm! it's not a contraption, it's a rare
surviving example of an elegant post mill, so
called because the whole mill can rotate
about a central post to face the wind in any
direction, and the 'tail rotor' can
automatically wind it round into the wind,
it's last use was to pump water into a nearby
water tower.
