We discovered last evening on table III the
Office House. model Of ships windlass. with
an important improvement, by MIR. Samuel Nj
choIson. Of Boston, consisting Of two Gagged
wheels. one placed round the Nindlass barrel
within the bits, the other operating upon it by
means Of lever with ratchc; hand, catching tile
teeth Of ratchet wheel, and thus saving time as
we'll as gaining power. Both sides OF the wind |
lass could he furnished with the gearing, which
would occupy but few inches OF extra ROOM
Tie operation is forward q! the wiudlass afording
an advantage TO vessel nith deck load 1t Is
calculated that -four men can hcave AS much with
hi. gearing. as sixteen with handspikes alone
The invention is worth the attention OF mer-
chants.
