The contrivance is so simple andcheap that I have no doubt any blacksmithwould make it for two or three shillings. Hunters improved. It will at once appear, Mr. Editor, thatthis is an useful kitchen utensil, and as suchI feel assured that its description will not bedenied a place in the pages of the Mecha-nics Humerus Screw Press Improved. By -t. m.[From the London Mechanics Magazine.] Sir,—I beg leave to submit to the consi-deration of your readers the following de-sign for extending the range of an admira-ble invention, which must be familiar to mostof them—I mean Hunters Screw principle is, instead of using Hunterstriple combination of nut and screw, to useonly a nut and screw with a stipplementaryapparatus, which shall have the effect ofmaking the screw, as it were, run away fromthe grip, of the nut, while the nut is made tofollow with whatever degree of velocity maybe required. Thus the screw rises with avelocity bearing a similar ratio to that of themoving power, as in Hunters, while the range of the resultant power is continuedthrough the whole length of the screw. Inthe accompanying figure. A B is the screwtaken out of its place; a square projectionof equal length with the screw is added toit. The head of
