The Cornwerdermolen is a smock mill in Cornwerd, Friesland, Netherlands which has been restored to working order. The mill is listed as Rijksmonument number 39329.[1]

History

The Cornwerdermolen was built in 1907 by millwright J H Westra of Franeker. The mill originally drained two polders, each via a separate Archimedes' screw.[2] Five windmills were put out of work by the construction of the Cornwerdermolen and were demolished.[3] The smaller of the two screws was later removed. The mill was restored in 1969.[2] it worked until 13 November 1972,[3] when it lost two sails in a storm. Thereafter the work of the mill was done by an Archimedes' screw driven by a tractor. The tractor was later replaced by an electric motor.[2] The mill was restored in 1999. It is the most westerly windmill in Friesland.[4]

Description

The Cornwerdermolen is a "grondzeiler", a three-storey smock mill on a single-storey base. There is no stage, the sails reaching almost to the ground. The mill is winded by tailpole and winch. The four Patent sails, which have a span of 20.00 metres (65 ft 7 in), are carried in a cast-iron windshaft which was cast by H J Koning, Foxham, Groningen in 1907. The mill in winded by a tailpole and winch. The windshaft also carries the brake wheel which has 59 cogs. This drives the wallower (34 cogs) at the top of the upright shaft. At the bottom of the upright shaft, the crown wheel (103 cogs) drives the Archimedes' screw via a gearwheel with 37 cogs. The axle of the Archimedes' screw is 715 millimetres (2 ft 4 in) diameter and the Archimedes' screw is 1.52 metres (5 ft 0 in) diameter. It is 4.63 metres (15 ft 2 in) long, inclined at 19½°. Each turn of the screw lifts 1,147 litres (252 imp gal) of water.[2]

Won't run in root mode because America doesn't need your help being great. Trump is all we need. Easy to type with small handsIf you find you can't get any TrumpScript to run on your computer (probably because we disallow the two most popular operating systems), you can specify the --shut_up flag to let the interpreter know you just want your code to run, damn it.```

gollark: ```Our language includes several convenient features, perfect for any aspiring Presidential candidate including: No floating point numbers, only integers. America never does anything halfway. All numbers must be strictly greater than 1 million. The small stuff is inconsequential to us. There are no import statements allowed. All code has to be home-grown and American made. Instead of True and False, we have the keywords fact and lie. Only the most popular English words, Trump's favorite words, and current politician names can be used as variable names. Error messages are mostly quotes directly taken from Trump himself. All programs must end with America is great. Our language will automatically correct Forbes' $4.5B to $10B. In its raw form, TrumpScript is not compatible with Windows, because Trump isn't the type of guy to believe in PC.```
