LLL, LLL, two iron-wires, which, pafling thro*^ the holes in the lathII, and compafling the upper part of the iron-plate KK, hinder the platefrom being much moved from the lath. KK, an iron-plate, with a hole in the middle, formed into a female-fcrew, to receive the male-fcrew MM. MM, an iron-fcrew, ftraitly to conjoin the receiver AA, with the plateBB; and, lett the brafs-veflel fhould be broken, it is proper to put fomewood and leather between the fcrew, and the upper part of the receiver:leather, alfo, is to be put upon the plate BB, both to prevent the break
