Plate VIII. is a plan of the woollen mill, showing the arrangement of the different lines of shafting and the machinery, the different passages between the machines, the water-wheel, &c. It will be seen from plate VII. that the floor of the woollen mill is supported by piers of brick, and resting upon these are the cast-iron columns 20 feet long and 8 in diameter, for the support of the roof.

It is entirely of iron, 30 feet diameter and 13 feet wide, with 72 buckets, 1 foot 6 inches deep, and an opening of 7 inches for the entrance of the water into the bucket. The internal segment, a, fig. 302, 28 feet 1 inches diameter, 324 cogs, 3-inch pitch, and 14 inches wide on the cog, drives the pinion, b, 5 feet diameter, and gives motion ...
