Temperature Ice House 30 Sept 1796

Below the Ice
House, room for
a Balneum Conservatory.

The Balneum
a Binn, in which
the Barrels im (immersed
in water)
may be ranged as at
present in a Cellar
[upon wooden stands.]
The depth of the
Binn such, that
the water may cover
the largest Barrels
intended to be
used.

The floor of the Binn may
be sunk more or
less below the floor
on which a man
will stand to get the
a Barrel out of the
Binn.

To save economize
the Cold, the only
entrance into the
Conservatory may
be down from the
Ice House:

-Or the only entrance
into the Ice
-house, up from
the Conservatory

Means of keeping
the Water of the Balneum
at its level
As the Ice from the
Ice-House melts &
drops into it, it will
rise: and for every
Barrel

---page break---

Barrel taken out
of it, it will sink.

The entrance should
be through the Conservatory
up into
the Ice House::because
a deficiency
in the cold of the
Ice House can not
be supplied: whereas
so long as there
is cold enough in
the Ice House, any
deficiency of cold
in the Conservatory
may be supplied
from thence: and
heat may be let
in there if wanted
without

The reseptacle
for the Ice being
conical pyramial
cuneiform
or Maximise less
at bottom than at
top, where is it less
a part of the height
of the Conservatory
may be taken out
of the Ice House
This part will
afford room for
a man to mount
up byto a broad ladder
to a door opening
laterally from the
Conservatory below
into the Ice House
above.

The Ice House may be lighted from above by a Skylight pane or two. S??de may be in the manner of a 2ble or even a 3ble window: with a flap over the outside pane by way of a shutter, to be opened only wwhen light is wanted The BalneumWater Conservatory would answer the purpose of a drain to the Ice House, till the water got above the highest temperature meant to be kept up. It might then be kept at tahttemperature by a pic@ of Ice from time to time thrown from the Ice House The accession of Water from the Ice Reservoir would be so gradual, even in the hottest weather that no drain would be necessary. A pint of Water in a day taken out of the Water Conservatory would probably more that counterbalance it. This quantity would be of use in the way of watering to the ground: after standing to acquire the temperature.
