Force-Treasuring
1. Door self-shutting-
2. Building -
descent from the
scaffolding to draw
up a basket with
materials.+
3. The Monument
4. Tops of Ships
5. Prisoners &c in
Panopticon.
6. Manufactories
and Warehouses
having many stories.
7. Trees in some
cases - for gathering
the fruit, clipping
the leaves, cutting
the branchesb
8-Sheep hills -
Cattle in descending
to pull up a
weight by a rope
going over a block-
-This instead of
a drag.

Force-Treasur.g
+This to be done every time the men & the bricklayers go down which will be at least as many times a they have meals
A man in a basket may be
wound up to
the monument
by a rope hanging
down from a counterprised
bucket
at the top: the
rope being wound
round a barrel
turned by a man
at bottom by a
winch with a
paul to keep it
from winding back
in case of the winders
quitting the winch.
A man might let
himself down against
an insufficient counter-weight
by pulling
a rope piping over
a block suspended
from above
Amen

Force treasuring
Make a popular
pastime of
it- Let people
pay 1/2 or £1
a person for
a ride downin a
chair to which
they have mounted
by walking
Or let them ride
up as well as
down - employing
a little
vane to treasure
-up a fund of
counterpoises.
(b) The Machine
a triangle with
a projecting
arm from whence
the two buckets
or chairs are
suspended-
The triangle on
wheels - - This
firmer, & less expensive
than
the present
stages - lighter
and more portable.
---page break---
Force-treasuring
Set up a force
fabric, where
motion is plenty
as in a tide-
river or near
the Sea - Bottle
up force there
by springs, and
send it all over
the country by
water carriage
at so much a
pound.
N.B. This idea
though it would
not answer in
practice, might
serve for illustration
in Lectures
by shewing that
though it could
be done yet
that there would
always be cheaper
ways of doing the
same thing.
Qu. the greatest
force ever given
to a spring?
The obstacle is the
strength and weight
of the supports which
a strong spring
would require.
