    The State Implement and Engineering Works was a Western Australian company set up around 1912 at Rocky Bay, just south of Perth. They made several models of windmill as well as most other types of agricultural machinery.

    The State BABY windmill was their smallest offering, a single back-geared open gear windmill available in only one size, 6ft.

   The BABY windmill made its debut at the 1920 Perth Royal Agricultural Show. This mill is similar to the others made by this company in that it employed a wooden pitman arm. Instead of a rocker arm it used a metal slide guide for the wooden pump rod block.

   It appears to have been in production between 1920 and 1928.

    The Baby windmill at the Morawa Museum is complete and has been mounted on a short tower outside in the Museum yard.
