 provemeots in the construction of a machine for washing

To William Congreve, of Garden-Court, Temple, esq., 

 for a gun-carriage of the simplest construction, either for 

 land or sea service, calculated to reduce very considerably 

 the labour of working the guns, to produce a smooth and 

 even recoil, and to prevent the violent action that takes 

 place in conmiou carriages when the gun is fired. At the ^amc 

 time, the carriage is of much lighter and less expensive con- 

 struction, and less liable to be struck and splintered by the 

 enemy's shot, as presenting much less surface when applied 

 to the sea service : it allows moreover of a very considerable 

 reduction in the size of the port. May 24. 



To John Stedman, of Horton Kirby, in the county of 

 Kent, farmer, for a palten and clog, of infinite utility and 

 ease to such persons who may wear them. May 24.
