page_text: A Principal Wheel composed of a horizontal Beam in its center being at one end three quarters of an inch in diameter, at one inch and a quarters distance from this end, its diameter is one inch and a quarter.
The Cylindrical length of this part is one inch, from this part to the other end, half an inch, its Diameter is eleven twelfths the total length then of this beam is two inches and three quarters. In the middle of the
largest Cylindrical part of the Beam of this Wheel are fixed eight spokes, each five inches long having at each end a Cylindrical Tenon, one quarter of an inch in length, one end of which are fastened into
the nave and the other into the interior Rim of the Wheel and to the depth of the length of their tenons. These spokes will be placed according to the design of the Plan.The Size of the Rim of the whed is ten twelfths.
The thickness is seven. Round the Rim is an angular Channel, terminated between the two angles, by a small Circular portion, the height of which in the center is of half a line, the depth of the Channel is the
sixth part of an inch besides the lead work. BHandle which is in the center of the Beam of the wheel marked AA and in the Center the little pulley of the Reel which is an inch and a half in diameter, from
outside to outside, and one inch and one sixth in thickness, its Channel is a quarter of an inch in depth, and five twelfths in wedth...This handle is of steel and is three lines in diameter in all parts
of its length its CAxis is nine inches and a half in length at the end of this axis there is room for a Screw half an inch in length, its D. Arm is an inch and five sixths in length from one outside to the
other. Its E Lever is one inch in length included the Button which is half an inch in diameter and a quarter of an inch in thickness. The Second Arm F, of the handle is two inches and half long, at the end
of this Arm is a worm destined to receive the part which contains the Screw of the axis The hand Gis two inches and half long, the nut of the hand is two inches in Diameter, wonder supporters one foot in
length in their largest profile and one inch three quarters in diameter having each a Cylindrical tenon, one inch and three quarters in length, and one inch in diameter at two inches five sixths distance
from the top of the supporters, is a hole horizontally placed to receive the axis, these supporters are to be executed according to the profile of their dimensions taken on the Scale of the Plan HDouble tenon
in wood of the fork which moves backwards and forwards by means of a Screw. The inferior tenon at 1 inch in length and 9 lines in thickness and in wedth containing a worm of diameter for
the reception of a Screw Jnearly the same diameter from one outside to the other and 3 inches long the head is of an inch in thickness. Above this tenon are two larger parts the first at one inch in
diameter and its length is of the second part is one inch and in diameter and long after is the Second Cylindrical tenon which is an inch in length and of an inch in diameter after this tenon
is a Screw which is of the same diameter and in length, this tenon is screwed in its nut an inch in length and one inch and in diameter from outside to outside. The Second tenon passes
across a hole equal to its diameter which is made in the middle of the length of the cross piece this cross piece is 8 inches and a 4 in length, and in the middle a part an inch square of each side of
the square at the distance of 3 inches from its Center is a hole pierced parallel to the other of an inch of Diameter, on the other Side at the distance of 2 and half from the Center of the
Same square is a hole resembling the other their Circular parts have each in diameter and in each hole are placed a piece 6 inches and long and in their largest part they are one inche
in diameter their Cylindrical tenons are linche long at 3 inches and distance their tenons have each a Cylindrical part 1 inche and long and off of Diameter in the middle of the length
of each of those parts is a mortise of an inch in length and in wedth in each of these nortises are annexed two pieces of leather 1 inch and long and 3 of an inch wide and one line in thickness one
leather is a hole at of an inch in diameter and the other one line at 1 inch and 4 m the length. In the hole of the leather turns the little pipe of the twister in copper which is a quarter of an inch
in diameter and 1 inch and in length the hole of the pipe is of Inch & in diameter at 3 of an inch distance from the extremity of the pipe is a ferril a line in wedth and of a line in thickness
at distance from the ferril is an opening on the pipe of 5 lines in length and in breadth at 4 of an inch distance from this opening is a piece of Copper 3 inches and in length soldered to
the rim in manner to form an angle 16 degrees on the right line which gives the bean this Piece is a line in thickness and ak of an inch in wedth at of an inch distance from the end is a fork
of an inch in weath, and at the bottom of the opening is a little Copper pulley & of an inch in diameter and in thickness its angular channel is an in wedth and of an in depth containing a
hole with at of a line in diameterat the proper distance to receive the Steel peg and that it may be perfectly exact and moveable in its fork after the piece which forms the angle is soldered a beam of
Copper tourned to its diameter on a length of 5 inches and a 4, & of an inch in diameter the end that is soldered is of an inch in diameter at 2 of an inch at the small end.To this Beam

is a moveable pipe of one inche and in length having at one end a pulley 1 inch and in diameter from one extremity to the other and 1 inch and in diameter at the bottom of the angular
Channel of the pulley which is 3 of an inch in thickness at the side of this pulley at two lines of distance is another pulley of the same diameter on the outside and of 1 inch of diameter
at the bottom of the Channel. Dimensions of the table K of the Wheel 8 inches in vedth and 17inches in length and 1 inch in thickness, four mortises placed quadrangularly their exte-
-rior distance on one side is 4inches and and on the other side 10 lines the great distance from one to the other is six inches and a half and their square is of 8 lines. The Mortise M is bored
perpendicularly in the table at one inche distance from the end the other side of this mortise is at two inches 12 distance from the state of the table_this mortise is Inch and in length and & in wedth.
Mortise N, is bored obliquely in the table on a sloping angle 114 degrees at 1 foot 4 inches and distance from the end its Sloping is opposite this distance the other Side of this mortise is at
two inches and distance from the side of the table. This mortise is 3 inches long and 1nch in wedth. Mortise O bored through the table on a Sloping angle of 35 degrees at three inches distance
from the end its slope is opposite this distance the other side of this mortise is at 2inch and distance from the side of the table the mortise is 2 inches long and of an inch wide on a sloping
angle of 72 degrees Mortise Ppierced in the table at 8 inches distance from the other its slope is opposite this distance the other side is at 2 inches and distance from the side of the table this
