'''John Wallis Titt''' (1841–1910) was a late nineteenth-century English [[mechanical engineer]] and builder of a particular design of large [[wind engine]].

==Early life==

Titt was born in 1841 at [[Chitterne]], Wiltshire to John Titt and Eliza Titt (''née'' Wallis).<ref name=Titt>{{cite web |url=http://www.chitterne.com/history/jwtitt.html |title=John Wallis Titt |publisher=chitterne.com |access-date=22 May 2009 |archive-date=30 June 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120630212150/http://chitterne.com/history/jwtitt.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> Elm farm had a [[post mill]], which he worked for his father until he left in 1865 to join Messrs Wallis, Haslan and Stevens, [[agricultural engineer]]s and [[steam engine]] manufacturers of [[Basingstoke]], Hampshire. Titt worked for them for two years as a commercial traveller. In 1867, he joined the [[millwright]]ing firm of Brown & May, based in [[Devizes]], Wiltshire. He remained with them for five years.<ref name=Major>{{cite book | first =J. Kenneth| last = Major| author-link =Ken Major | year = 1977| title = The Windmills of John Wallis Titt| publisher = The International Molinological Society}}</ref> From 1870, Titt was an agent for Brown and May.<ref name=BH>{{cite web|url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=102813 |title=ENGINEERING AND RAILWAY WORKS |publisher=British History Online |access-date=22 May 2009}}</ref>

==Later life==
In 1872, Titt established himself at Portway, Devizes as an agricultural engineer, employed by Brown & May. He was also an agent for [[John Fowler & Co.|Messrs Fowler's]] of [[Leeds]], Yorkshire. In 1874 he entered business on his own account<ref name=BH/> and in 1876 he established the Woodcock Ironworks at [[Warminster]]. At first, he manufactured elevators.  Titt continued in business as an agricultural engineer and [[iron founder]]. In 1884, Titt manufactured his first wind engine, for the [[Boyton, Wiltshire|Boyton estate]]. Titt continued to run the firm until he retired through ill health in 1903, the year in which he exhibited three wind engines at the [[Royal Agricultural Society of England|Royal Agricultural Society]]{{'}}s show, [[Park Royal]], London. He died in May 1910.<ref name=Major/>
[[File:John Wallis Titt & Co. Challenge Junior name plate.jpg|thumb|left|Identification plate for one of Titt's machines]]
After his death, the firm was run by his two sons.<ref name=Titt/> At its peak, 150 people were employed.<ref name=BH/> Apart from the agricultural side of the business, the firm also handled [[bicycle]]s and [[motor car]]s.<ref name=Titt/> The firm declined until in 1929 only 25 people were employed. In the 1940s, under the management of G. T. Frost, the firm expanded again, employing 60 people in 1952.<ref name=BH/> A branch was established at [[Frome]], Somerset.<ref name=Branch/> The Warminster headquarters closed in 1986<ref name="Branch">{{Cite web |website=Wiltshire Community History |title=Warminster |url=https://apps.wiltshire.gov.uk/communityhistory/Community/Index/233 |publisher=Wiltshire Council |access-date=1 May 2023}}</ref> but the firm continued in business in Frome until 2009.<ref name=Titt/>

==Titt wind engines==

Titt made three  main  types of wind engine: the  ''Woodcock'', ''Simplex'' direct and the ''Simplex'' geared. After the firm was taken over by his sons, another standard type of windpump, the ''Imperial'', was produced.<ref name=Major/>

===Woodcock engines===

The Woodcock engine was a conventional iron [[windpump]]. It came in two sizes, with wind wheels of {{convert|10|ft|m|2}} and {{convert|12|ft|m|2}} and could be supplied with a wood or steel tower. The Woodcock wind engine could pump water to a total height of {{convert|150|ft|m|2}}.<ref name=Major/>

===Simplex direct engines===

The Simplex engines came either as [[direct drive mechanism|direct drive]] or [[transmission (mechanics)|geared drive]]. The direct drive engines had a wind wheel diameter of {{convert|14|ft|m|2}}, {{convert|16|ft|m|2}}, {{convert|18|ft|m|2}}, {{convert|20|ft|m|2}} and  {{convert|25|ft|m|2}}. A  {{convert|25|ft|m|2}} high tower was supplied as standard, but could be made to any height a customer desired at extra cost. The blades of the wind wheel were similar in design and operation to the shutters on a [[windmill sail|Spring or Patent sail]]. Some of the larger direct engines were turned to wind by a [[windmill fantail|fantail]]. A single or double fantail could be had, per the customer's wishes.<ref name=Major/>

===Simplex geared engines===

The geared engines came in the same sizes as the direct engines, and were also available in {{convert|30|ft|m|2}}, {{convert|35|ft|m|2}} and  {{convert|40|ft|m|2}} diameter. A  {{convert|25|ft|m|2}} tower was standard for the smallest three sizes, and the larger sizes came with a  {{convert|35|ft|m|2}} as standard. Again, a taller tower could be supplied at extra cost. The geared Simplex engines were turned into wind by a fantail.<ref name=Major/>

==Locations==
Two remaining wind engines made by John Wallis Titt are on show at the Wind Energy Museum in [[Repps with Bastwick]], Norfolk.<ref name=Repps>{{cite web |url=http://www.windmillworld.com/millid/2214.htm?/ |title=Morse's Wind Engine Park - Repps with Bastwick |publisher=Windmill World |access-date=9 September 2016}}</ref>

A second pump moved water further up the hill to a second reservoir which then fed water troughs for livestock.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.woldnewton.net/files/water |title=Water - Wold Newton |website=www.woldnewton.net |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120302212225/http://www.woldnewton.net/files/water |archive-date=2012-03-02}} </ref>

The name "Simplex" was independently used by an Australian windmill manufacturer (the Intercolonial Boring Company) for its windmills, with the name used to describe greatness in simplicity. The windmill and its design had no association with Titt's machines.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Wheels and windmills|last=Jessop|first=Cecil P.|publisher=Privately Published (Hutchinson, Price & Musgrave)|year=2004|isbn=0646440772|location=Murwillumbah}}</ref> A restored IBC Direct Acting Simplex windmill is part of the [[National Museum of Australia]] collection.
