Cleanliness
Washed once a week by one or two persons whose
business it would be and who would make report of any
disorder in the body. The washing either is a kind of
bath or room on purpose or each room where the
work done in it does not hinder might serve for the
inhabitants to be washed in they themselves washing out
the room itself immediately afterwards. Bathing would
require too much water unless the river running
water through the premises: but soap Fullers earth a little
water would suffice to clean a man all over with a mixture of sand
Smoak Jacks
Smoak jacks as they would not be wanted to roast
might serve to set turning lather grindstones &
in motion no insufficient. Would do for lace twisting machine
Steam Engines
Steam Engines at the same time that
they produced required force would heat
the building without fuel properly conserved
Men's force
how applied
At the same time that men walk on the
outside of a lantern wheel to apply their
weight to an uninterrupted motion
another lantern wheel might
present itself above the former at a
convenient height for the men to lay
hold of the descending bars to steady
themselves by. The if the motion of these two
wheels be made to communicate & keep
pace together. The men might hang any
part of their eight indifferently on their
arms or legs to ease their legs without
diminishing [their influence]. the effect.
the same If the Wheel was of large
diameter they might hang by their hands to the upper
bars while their feet were on the lower: but then
the concavity would be troublesome were the wheel ever so large.
