Mechanics of Humans
shoulders may be
given to him.
In turning a winch,
the height of his
shoulders, or that of
his back, or that
of his brack, in
short different parts
of his body – may
serve as the stretching point
d' answer
the purpose of
stretchers in rowing
at the adapted to different
parts of the revolution.
About half the
every up the back
will probably be
found the most
convenient station
for the stretcher
upon the whole: the
muscular strength
of the back being
sufficient to admitt
of the great part
which is below giving by
means of this its weight
sufficient fixity to
the small part above
which is above.
A man having
2 hands, 2 feet &
an arse, says nothing
of knees & elbows
can make a point
d' of each, the
body remaining at
at rest: going
round a capstan
he may have a
road for some
other of this
point d'
arms for instance
as well as legs.
Pressing against a
capstan bar with
his breast or with
a belt over his
breast, he may
draw the capstan
bar which is behind
him, and in either
of those cases he
may exert the muscular
force of his
arm to great advantage
by pulling
himself forward by
a hand of horizontal
ladderway: or lashing
himself fast to
an immoveable
object he may
pull the capstan
round with his
hands: or sit
down as in
rowing.
To compleat the
similitude to rowing
let all the capstan
bars instead of being
fixed firmly in the
capstan be fixed
in a ring on the
capstan in such
manner as to move
back without the
capstan.
