Corkscrew Staircases
- Steps
2 foot wide
turning round
a Pillar
Pillar hollow
may serve for a
Water-pipe -to
communicate
with the Wheels
To gain the
wheels, a branch
which may be
flanking must
cross the Sunken
Drain - the
main preserving
the perpendicular
direction - & being
for lightness &
cheapness hollow
except a thickness
of about
6 or 8 inches
to support the
incumbent
column of water
But if the
Water-pipes are
to be in that the Dead
part, how are
the Wheels to be
subjected to Inspection?
Or else Ladder
Staircases - hiding
only part of a
Cell - that is diminishing
polant
the width
of the Cells in
that part
As the 6th Story
of the Cells must
have its Staircase
what is to become
of the infirmary
in those two
of Cells?
The Garret Story
must answer the
purpose - You
may lower the
floor of it 2 1/2
foot. This will
make it more
commodious &
bring it within
sufficient inspection
of the Inspection
Gallery.
Half-Cells
As some of
the Cells are
to have but two
Prisoners, make
some but half
the size of the
others
Balcony before
Inspect. Gallery
2 foot wide only-
-the doors opening
inwards.

A number not
W much less than
118 might be
contained in
1/2 cells 2 to a
cell
Surrounding
Wall triangular
especially if not
Airing apart from
the marching
Parade is wanted
- or in a Town -
where Ground is
scarce -
The apex at
the Approach.

Make the Dead
Part (which need
not go all the way
up) and the
Staircases by
cribbing 1/2 the
width from so
many Cells - Allot
these 1/2 Cells
to receive 2 prisoners each
Take 9 stories
out of the height
of 6 - and put
3 stories of Cells
to one of Lodge.+
That is make give
back 7 8 foot of height
of Ceiling in the char
instead of 8.
+ No - 3 stories
will not do very well
- See the figure
Enlarge the Well
at the expence of the
Ledge - This will
give more light &
Air & facilitate
Inspection
To make the
mos of a single
radialYard, put a school
on each side the
wrist, with one or
two betwixt the
2 & 3 fingers
Conversation
-tubes, not fixed ones, one to
every cell, but moveable
ones, one to
each Inspection Gallery -
Might not the
Pole, by means of
a small perforation
answer the purpose?
Pole by a male
screw at the end to
open the lock by a
corresponding female
screw, or vice versa.
