Farm update:
Finally the windpump mechanical amplifier for the Poldaw windpump is ready. What initially I set out to design and fabricate has now been completed after several rounds of visits to lathe and welding shops. Past 2 weeks there were intensive activity around this on followup amidst my business work.
The welding helpers lost interest at some point of time. They found this an obstacle in their shop as it occupies space. I hurried myself and finished the thing. Actually I wanted to prepare more tools for Subbu, but confined myself only to this amplifier.
Sending this was also a challenge. My farm is 1000 kilometers away. The transport / logistics company was asking invoice papers. This is R&D piece and have no papers. A search and by chance a transporter agreed to send this by lorry "whenever it goes" after Diwali Holidays. Hope Subbu will receive this and fit it properly.
Subbu has returned from Tirupati Darshan. It went well. he was in touch all along partly to confirm his ticket and seats online.
Meanwhile there is plenty of rain at the farm. This is rainy season there. Subbu has disconnected the electric wires. Kandan should feel safe. I did not approve the wire being drawn from one room to another without pole. I asked him to secure this quickly. After return from Tirupadi, Subbu has to fabricate 2" pipes in welding shop and make electric poles.

| The main unit. The face plate will move up and down along with railings on both sides. This will lift the pump rod. |

| This mechanism will be pushed from top by the windmill. This is a slider and can be moved back on the cantiliver. The more it is moved back, the bigger will be the arc of sweep and hence more water. |

| Fulcrum at the back. The split on top is for easy removal for repair and refitting. Theft can happen. |

| This is the original drawing I conceived out of mind and drew on computer using "sketchup" software. I hope the final product has come out exactly like this. This method works. |
