Count Romford
has made a number
of most interesting experiments
on the strength of bodies
but the details are
all lost. The result
though he has in his
memory he does not
mean to publish
till he can have
opportunity of repeating
them.
Hemp in certain
circumstances he
finds stronger
I think twice as
strong as iron
bulk for bulk.
Paper half as
strong as iron
a cilinder of paper
of which the transaction
is a square
with supports
30,000 pounds
of iron 60,000.
Wet paper for
a ferrule to a
chisel for example
superior to iron
if varnished when
dry to keep out
moisture.
Wood nearly as
strong as iron certainly
half.
---page break---
Elastic Breechins
for Guns or
braces for carriage
instead of springs
a leather hose
filled with balls
bottoms of Worsted
yarn, then tied
up between each
the tying covered over
with a leather strap
to keep out the
rain. The Count
has found thus
possibly for Guns
and braces
be made for his carriage.
For his bridges he
hooks timber together
then drives a wedge
in each hook at
the same time & degree.
In the making a
stove he has introduced
two chimney
pots to form column
looking flues.
Flying artillery
then scaled on the
forepart of carriage
and on the horses.
Other for retreat
in which the
men work the
Guns while in
full gallop the
Gun up
to be loaded.
---page break---
A small Gun
he has made of
hemp which he
never could burst.
Cannons he has
made with a
contracted chamber
exactly on Sadler's
plan, he showed
me a drawing.
