The mill was developed in the United States and was used for irrigation purposes. A modified shape with a smaller wheel was produced in Europe by Herkules Metallicus of Dresden. In the Netherlands it was used as a polder mill. About 200 of these mills were installed between 1902 and 1925, especially where a steam pumping station would be too large and expensive. This was especially the case in North Holland and Friesland.
