N.B. The common
lifting pump fetches
up water for air
bulk for bulk, as
high as it will
go.

Material.

Plank lined
with lead

Cast iron in
one piece
Brick

Plank lined
with Copper

Lead best, as
more easilly reparable
by
soldering

A Brewer's Copper
mounted on hollow legs
would serve for
the experiment

Brick or Wood lined with
lead or Copper.

+ Not so: same the
narrower the Neck, the
slower the rise: and
the longer the time which
the air will have to get
in at the ,
of water.

Neck

As it is only at
a considerable
height that any
water is wanted
the all below
that height may
be a very narrow
neck, by which
means it will be
the easier closed
by a valve opening
inwards. 4

Discharge

In the base, a
valve opening outwards.

5

Fire Stage

Half way between
the top and the
highest line to which
the water is expected to
rise put a were
stage to receive the
straw with a cubical
cage in it open
only at one side
viz: that on which
the straw is to be
slid down.

6

Fewel- feeding passage

An inclosed trough
to slide down the
fewel : the fewel being stopped in the
wire stage by the
cubical cage.


Discharge

To let off the water
into the reservoir
the lock or locks should be
but just above the
valve which should
be but just above the neck.

1. Straw

3. Shavings

34 Straw dipped
in Turpentine
or Coal-oil

straws ready

and a different

Lowered from the

How to renew
the air after each
combustion, so as
to make it fit
for another. A.
The fresh air rushes
in as the water runs
out at the lock.

Could any thing
be gained by
making the rising
water raise a
floating copper
bubble? or set of corks connected
with the machine

passing under
the surface of the
reservoir?
