I found a copy of this book at the Delaware Hagley Museum's Library and had to have it. Reynolds is an excellent scholar and writer, one of the best researched books I've seen in along time. The material is the best on vertical water wheels and highly recommend it to anyone needing information on this wonderful-ancient technology.
