Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Thank you windybob. This is very useful info. I’ve spent time in the literature archive at the Panhandle Plains museum researching wind electrics. I’m over due for another visit. Thanks

No problem. I hope you find out what it is. It's really interesting looking.

Found this from FB. Seems to have a similar twist in the spokes to your photos. You may be right on the Rex Jr.

Paul - you might want to put this in the literature section

No question now “Rex Junior” and the 2nd weight is used to balance sucker rod weight. Thank you all for your help.

Mike, where did that picture come from? The museum?

Yes, there’s several Rex catalogs out there. The 1902 is available on line but apparently the Junior model wasn’t introduced until 1903/1904 so you have to find the later catalogs. I was able to find a copy at one of the museums you had listed.

Glad it worked out.!

I think Jim Koch restored a Rex mill. They were made in Anderson, close to his home town. There is a friend of mine here that was raised in Anderson. It's a small world sometimes.

Yes it is. When you rattled off the locations of the Rex catalogs, a light bulb went off and I realized I had the same T Lindsey resource. What a great book that is. Thanks again for your help.

You are most welcome.
