Mosaic floors.
CircularCentral patterns
of the same size
for the curves
of a room: and
the whole together
adapted to the
sizes of & shapes
of different rooms
by borders which
may be increased
in extent any
way ad libitum.
For patterns,
observe the painted
work and carved
work on ceilings
as likewise the
inlaid Tea-boards.
Make it by

Primum
Mobile
Torricellian
Observe the main
quantity of motion
in a day
24 hours
Is there not in
every 24 hours
some change
either ascent
or descent or
both
---page break---
Primum Mobile
1. Torricellian
2. Pulse-Glass
3. Rain-water
collected on
high ground
or a high building
The surface
in which it is
collected, open.
That into which
it is discharged
and in which it
is kept, enclosed
or covered with oil to prevent evaporation.
Both might
either be employ'd
by themselves, or
to keep up a reservoir
of force
to be employ'd
on failure of
the wind
A less body
might move more
than in a common
observance,
since at night
and other times
when not wanted
it would not be
discharged.

Slack Pump
Motion would
be favoured by the
depression of the
water at the time
of the flash: at
that period a body
floating on the water
would sink, &
by a combination of
levers and ropes
might produce a
motion at any
height required
Let the floating body
almost inclosefold up the
inclosing tube
---page break---
Primum Mobile
Water driven
up and down
by the sudden expansion
by heat of air
in the same tube
The natural
change in the
Torricellian primum
mobile
might thus be
encreased by
forc applied to
that part which
contained the
air.
In a high receiver
inaccessible
to dust evaporation
of water might
be prevented by
covering it with
a thin skin of
oil.
When water
fell from the
reservoir power
might be gained
not only from
the fallstream of the
water but from
the sinkingalternate and
rising of a body
floating on it
