Counter clock wise mills
I just recently realized my old wooden Stover turned counter clock wise I believe it's the only Stover that did. I know Flint and Wallings do and some Baker monitors do. Were there any other windmills that did.

My A702 turns counter clockwise if I look at it from the backside!
Imagine that!

My Fairbanks Morse (made by Woodmanse?) spins counter clockwise. I didn't realize I was backwards to everyone else until I started comparing it to photos of other mills. Everything was on the other side! Any advantage one way or the other? I can't think of any.

Re: Counter clock wise mills
Maybe someone has literature from one of the manufacturer who's mills ran counter clock wise claiming it was better for some reason to spin counter clock wise. Anyone out there?

There was some writing about Monitor (I think it was) having an advantage. Probably just salesmanship.
