This booklet deals with a special type of small farm windmill driven by an annular sail or wind engine. These farm mills were/are mainly found in the northeastern part of the Czech Republic (and also in the southeastern part of Poland). The first part deals with the history and construction of these mills. In the second part is an inventory of all mills known (around 70) and a description of a few examples that survive. A literature list completes this publication.
