The wheel a works another ofequal size and number of cogs 6, shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3102, and seen in section in Fig. wheel h has a vertical spill or centre c, Fig. 3103, on the upper part of which is a crown-wheel c?.

To these crooks are attached the several 3102. yarns, which as tlie monkey travels along the bench are spun into fuzes. We prefer to have fifty-two teeth in the crown-wheel d, eight teeth in the pinion e, twelve teeth in each of the wheels aand 6, and twenty-four teeth to a foot in the side rack. In order to use this improved monkey it isnecessary to increase the number of funnels for the gunpowder and collars, whicli may be arrangedas shown in Figs. 3105, 3106. Fig. 3105 is a plan of these collars cast in one united piece of brass-work, k, I, m, being the three several collars, the whole being fixed to an upright frame by thescrews D, E ; the centre holes n, o, jy, being intended for the reception of the gunpowder funnelsw, X, y, Fig. 310C, and the several circles of holes q, r, s, being intended to receive the yarns, whichmeet below and embrace the gunpowder as the fuze is spun.
