Ascertaining the
quantum of Cold
necessary.

Time, during
which the Balneum
would continue
within the required
temperature in
a Frigidarium of
the proposed size
and construction
independent of calefaction,
by influx
of air in opening
the door, & by sojournment
of the Inspector?

Mean temperature
of the Year is, according
to Kirwan?

Frigidarium - stocked
with Ice, say
15th Decr: by the
15th of Feby, the mean temperature
of the external air
for the two Months
being obtained by
observation, sufficient
data may
have been obtained,
unless in case of
almost constant
frost, for ascertaining
the probable
duration of the
Stock: because
calefaction by sojournment
will
not differ be much
greater in summer
than winter.

Husbanding
the Cold.

In the Frigidarium
none of the Inspectors
time to be consumed
in deliberation.

An exact graphical
plan of
the Frigidarium
with the packages
contained in it
to be prepared
in the first instance
and all changes
to be marked upon
the plan as soon
as made in the
Frigidarium.

Time of the Ice.
Not more than
one Inspector at a
time, but in case
of necessity

Time of inspection
but once in
the 24 Hours; and
that as short as
possible:- say 20
minutes.

The same time
to serve for
1. Inspection -
2. Extraction
3. Insertion.
4. Feeding the
Balneum with Ice.

Time of visitation
in the 4 hours
the coolest that
admitts of sufficient
light: viz:
a little after sunrise.

Time of sojournment
to be

Husbanding in Cold

Time of sojournment
to be carefully
noted (if
by a second watch
so much the better)
and entered in the
Journal.

By choosing the
coldest time of the
24 hours of that
the morning, not
only the calefaction
by influx of air
will be the minimum,
but the so
will the heat of the
Subject matter at
the time of insertion.

Construction

At the apex of
mount on the outside
a cistern
fed by a pump
the waste water
thereby discharged
on hot days down
the mount on all
sides: whereby
the grass of the
mount will be
maintained in its
verdure and the
Frigidarium refrigerated.

May not the
Waste water Will
serve for prepatory
cooling previous to
introduction into the
Anti-Frigidarium?

Renewal of Cold

of
Cold how to be
effected in the
event of a threatened
premature
exhaustion

Ice bung to be
brought at a given
price within Icehouses
(say 1d
per lb wholesale)
calculate which
would be cheapest
to lay Ice in at
that price or
to lay in Salt
to add to the remaining
pack of
Ice.
