1. Magnitude
2. Form
3. Situation.
4. Means of lighting
45. Means of
confining temperature,
as
between the
whole and the
external atmosphere
5. So, between division
and Division.
Not necessary
except afterwards for the
purpose of experiment. [+]
[+] The lowest consistent with fluidity will be the object
6. Means of lighting
without prejudice
to the confinement
of temperature
7. Means of preserving
uniformity
of temperature
where temperature is
wanted.
8. Means of effecting
change in temperature,
where
change is wanted
i:e: elevation, for the depression
never can be wanted.
9. Means of indicating
temperature
at any
given minimal.
10. Means of recording
changes of temperature
without inspection

up uniformity
of temperature as
between stratum
& stratum of the
same mass of water]

IV Might not it be best to confine our endeavours at first to the securing as low a temperature as consistent with fluidity, and to mark the maximum of temperature taking place notwithstanding, and if deterioration were thus to be prevented, reserve the experiment of the different degrees for a subsequent period after the feasability of the process in a communial view had been esstablished? Quere in a Hemipherical Frigidarium of 50 foot radius would it be most advantageous to fill the 40 above with floors, or to leave it empty? No horizontal temperature fence will can be airtight but a brick one. Small Bar - in the upper part of the hemisphere where the lightest and warmest air ???d bit?
