Fordyce is not particularly acquainted with Belidor's Architecture
Hydrolique: mais en general il dit, que tocit
ce qui est de Belidor est bon: which it is a great deal
for Fordyce to say.
A friend of Fordyce's has got the Commission for victualling
the forces at Boston. He sends amongst other things Sauer
Crout: Cabbages which are made to undergo to a
certain degree the acetous fermentation: a great dish
in Germany. They are stowd in 1/2 Ton Casks. As this
fermentation will continue while they are on ship board, Fordyce
has contrived a method to give vent to the vapour
that will be discharged. In the middle of each Bung, which
is of cork he introduces a flat circular Cross valve which
opens by the force of the vapour and shuts itself again by
a spring. Each Bung thus prepared costs half a
Crown.
