Experienda

An experiment to
be tried is how it
fares - with Preservanda
when taken
out of the Frigidarium
and exposed to higher
a known degrees of
temperature for a
known portions of
time ( say Kitchen
temperature) and then
returned.

The use of this is
to ascertain how
busy they will be &
to be kept at the
Retail Shops for
Sub, air whether
they can be accepted
if returned.

Construction

The most eligible
result is - that
the Air of the Frigidarium
(open or
confined) should
serve without the
Balneum: therefore
the stowage room
in airi should
be as ample as
that in Balneo.
The Balneum is
employed only as
a safeguard, and
a pis-aller.

Index in the
Reservoir for the
Waste Water - to
shew the length
of the Waste Water
and thence the approach
of the necessity
of pumping
and the degree of
expenditure of the
Ice

Shall the form
be circular as
proposed - or oblong
& to get the
larger body of ice?

Construction

The contents of the Balneum, Drains
being previously
ascertained by measurement,
so long as
the water did not rise
above the Waste pipe
so as to be discharged,
the rise would be
an exact indication
of the rate of melting
i:e: of the quantity
includ in a given time.
From thence the
temperature of the
atmosphere for that
time being known
a pretty exact calculation
might be
made of the probable
rate of melting for
the whole twelve month

By this means
in determination
might be formed
whether to later
advantage of a
late frost to replenish
the Ice - th

Instead of a
common pond,
suppose a bricked
reservoir of a known
content.-

Which might be
made to serve as a
Balneum of a higher
temperature?

But would the bulk
to freeze - unless
covered air with
a wooden cover and
straw on it.</p>

Quere Closing for
the Ice-shift
A case of straw
like the thatching of
a here.

For a plug, a
bag of sawdust or
chaff - or two of those
bags - to stow the

creation, for a covering
for the Open Air
Thermometer - to communicate
or not communicate
with the
Register Clock in the
inside.

Table

Table to be high
(Say as high as
J.B.'s Writing Table
or even as the chest of
drawers) by that
means it may have
a shelf underneath
besides stowage room
on the floor under the
shelf.

A car to be emply'd
for removing the
preservanda from
from the Anti-
Frigidarium into
the Frigidarium -
A Dresser in the
Anti-Frigidarium
to be exactly of the
same height as the
car - -

The Hole for putting
in the Ice to
be Conical with a
Bag of Sawdust
for a plug and
a piece of Board
at bottom and
