Ay, do come to town - there's a good boy, and let us talk these matters over
You might walk, or come by a Gravesend boat — My cursed book will
not be out the soonest these 10 days — Come and read over with me
the prefaces If you tell me you will not come to town, then I
will send you your things forthwith.
Did you ever hear of the Balancier? it is a contrivance I think to
remedy the loss of force which the spring undergoes as it unwinds itself. This
the Balancier does I think by winding the spring up somehow or other
every minute, which it does in an imperceptible instant of time - i.e:
physically practically speaking without loss of time. In this and the gridiron
contrivance to correct the effects of unequal expansion, consists as I
understood from Poore all that is every thing material that has been done by Harrison
&c. But a-propos. Comyns on Watchmaking - a very modern book
he a very ingenious & well known man. - in 4to — this will tell us every thing.
