N.B. this is upon a late improvement:
the old one is but

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

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.
