Preservation by Temperature Cold Conservatory
In contriving the
preparatory experiments
keep an
eye to the practice
in the great, so as
not to aim at
greater degrees of
nicety than can
be made sure of
in common practice
- unless for
the sake of settling
principles.
When water (hot
or cold) is let into
the Balneum in
order to regulate
the temperature
by making up
for any unite
unintended change
produced in it
it should be let
in in driops rather
than in a mass
ex.g. by spouting
thro' a rose over
the cock or by
droppong thro'
a cullender &c

Ship Conservatory
By means of the
Double-Vessels bounded
bad-conducting
Vessels Ice might
probably be carried
to the E. Indies
and back again
without melting
more than required
beyond the power
of keeping the included
Balneum
at the non-fermenting
temperature.
The great demand
for cold would be
to reduce the goods
themselves in the first
instance to within
the non-fermenting
temperature.
The possibility is
means of managing
the Ship Conservatory
might
be previously
established by experiments
on land.
Keeping the Vessels
inclosing the Ice in
a Hot-House.

heat would not penetrate

Nests of Cases or for Cupt Temperature [reserving experiments. Concentric Diameters varying in the same ratios as 1/2 an inch Filling for the space between cup & cup 1. Air 2 Cotton loosely packed - 3. Cotton closely packed- viz: as much again in the same space 4. Wood 5. Bees Wax. Glass Receivers best, as showing the state of the subject, and the progress of the melting of the Ice Three Receivers one within another. The inner one No 1, that next to it No 2, & so on. Between No 1 & No 2, pounded Ice Between No 2 & No3 nothing but air. The covers, and suports for the bottoms of 2 1, & 2 so ordered that there may be the same distance between them in every part. The ??ers of baked wood varnished with circular channels or grooves and with flannel, corresponding to the rims of the Receivers, so that the rims, for about 1/2 an inch may fit into them.
