Let the letters A, B,C, &c, Fig. 1, represent pipes of wine, or any
other substance to be raised out of a ship into a barge. Now, A being first
raised by common tackle to the height of F, and there suspended, the
pipe B is to be hooked or fastened; the suspending power discharged; and
as A will then descend with all its force, and being connected with B by
means of a pully and rope or lever, as will best suit the local place it may
be expedient to apply it to, will, by the assistance of a man to overpower the
friction or any small inequality in the weights of A & B, raise B to H above
the side of ship, as represented in Fig. 2d; the pipe B, being. by the
same man made to descend into the barge, will raise A up again to F, as
represented in Fig. 3rd. The rope or chain G, Fig. 3rd, being hooked
or fastened, C will be raised by the same means that raised B, and so of D
and E, or any number required to be raised.
.
And the said Samuel Miller further declares, the true spirit of his idea
is to use the descending force of any weight raised out of ships into barges, or
out of barges into ships, to raise a counterweight which is to operate on the
next weight to be raised.
In witness whereof, I, the said Samuel Miller, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twenty-second day of November, One thousand
seven hundred and ninety-two.
