An Index to the Platforme or Superficies of an Ingenio^ 

 that grinds or fquee^es the Sugar. 



^.npHe ground-plat , upon which the Ports or 

 Pillars ftand , that bear up the houfe, or 



the Intercolumniation between thofe Pillars. 

 B The Pillars or Ports themfelvcs. 

 C The wall between the Mill-houfe and Boyling- 



houfe. 



D The Circle or Circumference.where the Hor- 

 fes and Cattle go, which draw the Rollers a- 

 bout. 



E The Sweeps, to which the Horfes an ! Cattle 



are faftned , that draw about the Rollers. 

 F The Frame of the Ingenio. 

 G The Brackets or Buttereffes , that fupport 



that Frame. 



H The Dore, that goes down flairs to the Boy- 

 ling-houfe. 



/ The Ciftern, into which the Liquor runs from 



the Ingenio,immediately after it isground,and 



is carried in a Pipe under ground to thisCi- 



ftern,wherc i: remains not above a day at moft. 

 K The Ciftern that holds the Temper, which is 



a Liquor made with afh«?s, rteept in water, and 



is no other than the Lye we walli withall in 



England. This temper , we ftraw in the thret 



laft Coppers , as the Sugar boyles, without 



which, it would never Corn, or be any thing 



but a Syrope ^ but the fait and tartaroufnefs 



of this Temper, caufes it to turn, as Milk does, 



when any foure or fliarp liquor is put into it; 



and a very fmall quantity does the w^)rk. 

 L IheBoyling-houfe. 



The five black Rounds are the Coppers, in 



which the Sugar is boyled , of which the lar- 



geft is called the clarifying Copper, and the 



leaft, the Tatch. 

 M The cooling Ciftern, which the Sugar is put 



into, prefcntly after it is taken off the fire,and 



there kept till it be Milk-warm ; and then it is 



to be put into Pots made of boards, fixteen in- 

 ches fquare above,and fo grow taper to a point 



downward;, the Pot is commonly about thirty 



inches long , and will hold thirty or thirty five 



pounds of Sugar. 

 N The Dore of the Filling-room. 

 O The Room it felf, into which the Pots are fet, 



being fill'd, till the Sugar grow cold and hard, 



which willbe in two dayes &: two nights.^ then 



they are carried away to the Cureing , houfe. 

 f The tops of the Pots, of fixteen inches fquare, 



and ftand between two ftantions of timber , 



which are girded together in feveral places , 



flace this after Folio 84* 



vnth wood or Iron , and are thirteen or four- 

 teen inches affunder; fo that the tops of the 

 Pots being fixteen inches,cannot flip between 

 but are held up four foot from the ground . 

 ^ The Frame where the Coppers ftand,which 

 is raifed above the flowre or level of the 

 room, about a foot and a half, and is made of 

 Dutch Bricks , which they call Klinkers, and 

 plaifter of Paru. And belides the Coppers , 

 there are made fmall Gutters, which convey 

 the skimmings of the three Icfler Coppers , 

 down to the Still-houfe , whereof the ftrong 

 Spirit is made, which they call ^//-^/m7, and 

 the skimmings of the two greater Coppers are 

 conveyed another way,as worthlefs and good 

 for nothing. 

 R The Dore that goes down the rtairs to the 

 fire-room , where the Furnaces are , which 

 caufe the Coppers to boyl^ and though they 

 cannot be cxpreft here, by reafon they are 

 under the Coppers ^ yet, I have made fmall 

 femi-circles , to let you fee where they are , 

 behind the partition-wall, which divides the 

 fire-room from the boyling-houfe • which 

 wall goes to the top of the houfe , and is 

 mark'd with the Letter (c) as the other walls 

 are. 



S A little Gutter made in the wall , from the 

 Ciftern that holds the fint Liquor, to the cla- 

 rifying Copper, and from thence is conveyed 

 to the other Coppers , with Ladles that hold 

 a gallon a piece, by the hands of Negres that 

 attend that work day and night, fliifcing both 

 Negres and Cattle every four hours,who alfo 

 convey the skimmings of the three lefTer Cop- 

 pers down to the Stillhoufe, there to be twice 

 diftiird;the firft time it comes over the helme, 

 it is but fmall, and is called Low-wines ; but 

 the fecond time, it comes off the ftrong^l Spi- 

 rit or Liquor that is potable. 

 T Allwindowes. 



V The Fire-room, where the Furnaces are , 

 that make the Coppers boyl. 



W The Still-houfe. 



X The Cirtern that holis the skimmings, till 

 it begin to be foure, ""till when , it will not 

 come over the helme. 



Y The two Stills in the 5till-houfe. 

 Z The Semi-circles,that Ihew where about the 



Furnaces ftand.
