Synopsis
Excerpt from Encyclopędia Metropolitana, or Universal Dictionary of Knowledge, Vol. 8: On an Original Plan, Projected by the Late Samuel Taylor Coleridge; Comprising the Twofold Advantage of a Philosophical and an Alphabetical Arrangement
A windmill with four sails, measuring 66 feet Fr. From one extremity to that of the opposite side, and 6 feet wide, or a little more, was capable of raising 1000 pounds Fr. 218 feet in a minute, and of working, on an average, eight hours in a day. This is equivalent to the work of 51 men, as it has been above estimated; 25 square feet of canvass performing about the daily work ofa man.
Smeaton says that he has experimentally found a 30 feet sail equal to four horses, or one sail equal to one horse or five men, which, taking the breadth at 4 feet, nearly agrees with the above.
