Menan communicated the pro
pofals. of citizen Barenville and
- gave a description of the new ma
chine tor fpmning cotton. Thi^
machine is as Ample as it is inge
nious; all the pegs and bobbins
are put in motion by means of a
Angle wheel and notwithstanding
this the rotation of each may be
darkened or acelierated in such a
manner that one workman may
fpinan extremelyfine thread whilst
another (pins a middling fine one
on the fame machine ; flax, wool,
cotton and silk, may also at the
fame time be spun according to
occasion or the will of the proprie
tor, The known machines of
this kind dont furnifh more than
thirty thousand ells of 3 French
feet 7 inches 3 lines of thread per
pound; that of ßar nevi lie offeis
from forty-eight to fifty (houfand
ells per pound. The workman
in India does not draw more than
one thread at the fame time, but
by means of this machine every
workman spins two threads at
once.
Menan having unfolded the ad
vantages ot celerity, convenience,
economy, and perfection which
would result from this invention,
proposed and the Convention de
creed, that the lum of two hun
dred thousand livers shall be ad
vanced to Citizen Bayville for
the eftabhfhing of his Manufac
