390 Of the Turnep-Dritt. Chap. XXII. 



Wood of the Holes ; which Friction wearing the 

 Wood of both* would in time caufe the Spindle to 

 be loofe in its Holes, whereby its Axis would deviate 

 from the (trait Line it (hould make with the Axis of 

 the Brafs Spindle, and make an Angle with it ; and 

 then the Crank would change its Place in the Fork at 

 every Revolution of the Wheels; and if the Hole 

 ihould be worn very wide, and the Spindle worn much 

 leis, the Grank might let go the Fork •, but when the 

 Wood is of this Thicknefs, and each Hole has Wood 

 in it, with its Grains pointing different ways, it would 

 be many Years before the Holes would become large 

 enough for this to happen, tho' only wooden Wreaths 

 were ufed ; and as to the Two Wreaths of the left 

 Spindle, they may be of Wood, becaufe tho' that 

 Spindle (hould grow loofe, it is no Damage; for it 

 only ferves to bear up that End of the Carriage ; but 

 he that has this Sort of Brafs Wreaths for the hinder 

 Hopper o'f a Wheat-drill, may take them thence, and 

 place them upon thefe Spindles, and remove them 

 again to the Wheat-drill when that is ufed; for that 

 and the Turnep-drill are very rarely, or never, ufed 

 at the fame time. 



E is the Iron Crank, plac'd into the falfe Spindle, 

 in the manner (hewn at H in Fig* 5. of Plate 2. for 

 turning the Brafs Spindle by its Fork; but take care 

 that the End of this wooden Spindle do not approach 

 nearer to the End of the Brafs Spindle than the Di- 

 stance of half an Inch, left, if the inner Wreath (hould 

 grow loofe, the wooden Spindle might bear fo hard 

 againft the Brafs one, as to wrench the Seed-box down 

 from the Wood, and then the Seed might run out 

 betwixt the Seed-box and the Bottom to which it is 

 fcrew'd. 



When the hinder Side A is fcrew'd up againft the 

 Ends and middle Pieces, then the Box defcrib'd, be- 

 ing thrult down into the Carriage, and (tanding upon 

 the defcrib'd Ledgers, and at that Diftanceirqm each 



End
