N.B. this is upon a late improvement:
the old one is but
£4-4s.0. In This the expanding
part changes from one
side to the other gradually by the
turning of a wheel, instead of locking

There was a weighing engine which weighs
as far as 4 Tons for £10 - 10. Anderson commend
it much for its exactness & simplicity. He says
it is the only cheap thing there. A pretty iron
Roller made in two as to turn very easily
& very sharply; for with a ballance to the handle,
so that when you let it go the handle does
not fall into the dirt, at 2 or 3 gs: A very
pretty barrow which Anderson commends much
for its simplicity at £0 - 15s - 0. It turns over
with great ease by being narrow in front, & by
having the handles stand out wide prevents
your arms from rubbing against your body.
A pair of Shiers for 15s which are not forced
asunder by power of gravel or hard sticks. The knife
part
---page break---
The method we propose for naming the characteristic
parts of figures in mathemat diagrams
may be stiled characteristic: as being expressive
of the relations they bear to the other parts: the
common method by A, B, C, &c is un characteristic.
Canteen
Ais man that Anderson knows is making
by order 1000 canteens for the army, upon
a new plan — They are what Soldiers use for carrying their
drink. They are slung by their sides. Till now
they have been made of Tin, & were liable
to rust & be battered &c. This man knows
Mac-culloch has invented a pretty way
of he applying strings to a Harpsichord, so
that the two must always be in exact
unison. The 2 consist of one which is
doubled turning round a pin . A. one end
of the string B. the pin: C.the other end. At A
the string is fixed: at C it is lightened or slackened
by a screw. He has not yet applied
it to practise not does he mean to do it,
as the Harpsichord must be made on purpose,
& he has business enough of other
kinds.
