Abstract:This article is the result correspondence from Mrs. Josephine Potten and her son Ray of Hove, and from Miss E. Mary Selina Hammond of St Albans who are members of the Sussex Industrial Archaeology Society, and are also related to Charles Edwin Hammond who on 7 May 1873 took out a patent for a centrifugal governing mechanism to control the speed of the sweeps of a windmill, one example being incorporated in the mill at Windmill Hill. As this information was too comprehensive for the Newsletter, I have put together the following article from the correspondence received and associated documentation.
