 1 Pre,  5|    inches in diameter, and was 7 feet 10 inches high. The boiler
 2 Pre,  5|    inches high. The boiler was 5 feet 6 inches in diameter and
 3 Pre,  5|         inches in diameter and 6 feet 1 inches high. The water
 4 Pre,  5|      water in the boiler stood 4 feet 4 inches high and contained
 5 Pre, 10|         33 inches diameter and 9 feet long, Mr. Ridley induced
 6 Exp    |           A big copper boiler 11 feet in diameter at its widest
 7 Exp    |           C. A metal cylinder, 9 feet long, and 36 inches in diameter.~ ~
 8 Exp    |       pump which forces water 45 feet from the water-level of
 9 Exp    |          h.h. The great beam, 30 feet long, made of 6 pine-balks,
10 Exp    |   quadrant on the big beam 7 1/2 feet from the axis, from which
11   I,  1|        did not rise more than 28 feet; Torricelli later on compared
12   I,  2|          base and a height of 34 feet, because mercury is 14 times
13   I,  2|      over by a layer of water 34 feet high. (A pillar of water
14   I,  2|      high. (A pillar of water 34 feet high and of the same base
15  II, 14|     cylinder of the machine is 9 feet long and 36 inches in diameter;
16  II, 14|       water is 31 fathoms or 186 feet; the pump-pipe, by means
17  II, 14|      house are pressed down is 7 feet; but as this only takes
18  II, 14|          be put down only to a 6 feet lift, and though the machine
19  II, 15|          water from the basin 45 feet up into the resevoir of
20  II, 15|      lift of the machine takes 6 feet~ ~every foot contains 6
21  II, 17|       force-work has a lift of 3 feet, 3 inches and the metal
22  II, 17|      lift of the force-work is 3 feet~ ~every foot contains 4
23  II, 20| Königsberg has a cylinder, 7 1/2 feet high and 28 inches in diameter.
24  II, 20|       water is 30 klafter or 180 feet;~ ~"The capacity of the
25  II, 20|   fire-machine, with a lift of 6 feet, and 14 to 15 strokes or
26  II, 20|         or artifice has drawn 25 feet water per minute by means
27  II, 20|         which makes altogether 5 feet, and 5 lifts in a minute.~ ~"
28  II, 20|         13 strokes or lifts of 6 feet, it will be easily seen
29  II, 20|       how, by subtracting the 25 feet of water which the horse-artifice
30  II, 20|       fire-machine is lifting 78 feet, the fire-machine has actually
31  II, 20|         actually been lifting 53 feet of water more than the horse-artifice.~ ~"
32  II, 21|     machine has a cylinder 7 1/2 feet high and 27 inches in diameter;
33  II, 21|   machine again has a cylinder 9 feet long and 36 inches in diameter;
34  II, 21|          The machine delivers 78 feet water per minute, which
35 III, 30|       has got one cylinder, 21/2 feet or 30 inches in diameter
36 III, 30|         inches in diameter and 9 feet long. The boiler is oval,
37 III, 30|      long. The boiler is oval, 8 feet wide, and 9 feet long.~ ~
38 III, 30|         oval, 8 feet wide, and 9 feet long.~ ~The reservoir, to
39 III, 30|        force-work, is raised 124 feet vertically from the water-level
40 III, 35|         nine inch pumps, each 30 feet high, is only 13500 skålpund
