History

De Volharding was built in 1872.[2] It drained the Ald Piip Polder,[3] which has an area of 50 hectares (120 acres). The mill can pump water into the polder as well as draining water from the polder.[2] The mill worked until 1955, after which it became derelict.[4] On 28 December 1972, it was bought by Stichting De Fryske Mole (English: Frisian Mills Society). The mill was restored by millwright Tacoma of Stiens in 1973. A further restoration was undertaken in 1994.[2] In 2000, a new Archimedes screw was fitted by millwright H Kloosterman. In 2006, the mill was officially designated by Wetterskap Fryslân as being held in reserve for use in times of emergency.[4]

Description

De Volharding is what the Dutch describe as an grondzeiler. It is a two storey smock mill on a low brick base. There is no stage, the sails reaching almost to the ground. The mill is winded by tailpole and winch. The smock and cap arecovered in vertical boards. The sails are Common sails.[2] They have a span of 9.20 metres (30 ft 2 in).[1] The sails are carried on a wooden windshaft. The windshaft also carries the brake wheel which has 32 cogs. This drives the wallower (17 cogs) at the top of the upright shaft. At the bottom of the upright shaft, the crown wheel, which has 28 cogs drives a gearwheel with 25 cogs on the axle of the Archimedes screw. The axle of the Archimedes screw is 240 millimetres (9 in) diameter. The screw is 710 millimetres (2 ft 4 in) diameter and 3.45 metres (11 ft 4 in) long. It is inclined at 19°. Each revolution of the screw lifts 900 litres (200 imp gal) of water.[2]
