Detach a Barrel,
it will float, &
may thus be dropped
on a sloping stage
to the entrance of
the Conservatory.
For The Receivers for
the temperature preserving
Machines
apply to the Glassmen
who make the
Confectioners Glasses,
and the Musical
Glasses, which are
made in sts,
and probably with
great accuracy as to
the forms & sizes.
Per S.B Currants
are kept in Russia
in Water - The
Water serves at any
rate to exclude the
Air, and the temperature,
it must be
supposed, is low enough
to be a bar to
fermentation.
The Water serves
as a bar to great &
sudden changes of temperature.

Or rather double the

the thickness of the
Ice remaining the

business would
in most instances
be best managed
by a Balnaeum -
The temperature
might in this way
be more easily re-
exactly and speedily
indicated, and thence
as well as in other
instruments more
exactly regulated.
By means of
a common Stock
Reservoir of water
kept constantly boiling,
any number
of vessels might
be kept near one
another in so many different
degrees of temperature.
So likewise the
Cold Conservatory.
The temperature
of water being much
steadier much less
speed liable to sudden
variation than
that of air - See
Kirwan. 30-38.

The water in the
Balneum (Cold) should
be capable of being
agitated, to keep the
temperature steady,
by mixing the parts
changed with the parts
unchanged:
The difference in
gravity between warm
& cold water makes
a gradual mixture,
but a storm expedites
it. Kirw. 35.
