NOW KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that he, the said John
Eugene, by the direction & in pursuance of the said Letters Patent, doth by
these Presents describe the said new-invented engine, in manner & form
following, that is to say :-
The same is invented for raising water after a method intirely new, so that
one horse may be able to raise as great a quantity of water in the same time
& heighth as twenty horses can; and by the same principle of power gained
by art, you may make use of the said Invention in crane work and mill work,
and in all other work that requires force in turning or raising weight, &c.
KNOW YEE by these Presents also, that the Power that is gained in this
Invention is as follows:-First, that there are two capstalls, on which are fixed
two horrizontall wheels; the one where the artful power is given is in diameter
five feet, the next wheel that communicates with it is one hundred feet, and
the revolution that the first wheel makes (being the twentieth part of the
diameter of the great wheel) gains power with one horse in raising the same
weight or water in the same time & height as twenty horses can; likewise by
the same principle of power one man may be able to raise sixty tuns of water
in an hour; and the same power holds in mill, cranc, & other works that require
power, as above metioned, without loosing time.
In witness whereof, the said John Eugene hath to this present
Instrument sett his hand & scal, this Twenty-third day of December,
in the fourteenth year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord George the
Second, by the Grace of God of Great Britain, France, & Ireland
