(§. 10.) abed and abed, (Tab. VII. fig. 1.) is the brass 
cube of 5 inches that has been mentioned, suspended in its 
own scale, by means of four fine wires, from the arm 0 of the 
beam, Tab. VI. by taking away the common scale a r. The cube 
rests upon a cradle or cross, three arms of which are seen at gh i t 
and by this means may be weighed either in air or water, by 
immersion into the large glass vessel gh, Tab. VII. fig. 3. 
At fig. 2. is seen the cylinder abed and abed, four inches in 
diameter, and five high, slung in another cradle, part of which 
is seen at gbh i, supported by four wires from the point/. 
In fig. 3. is seen a sphere of brass d, 6 inches in diameter, 
slung in a cradle a be, by three wires * from the links/, sus- 
pended in a glass jar, 4 containing near four gallons of water, 
whose temperature is shewn by a thermometer at e. 
* These wires were of such a size that 91 inches weighed 20,71 grains, con- 
sequently 1 inch — 0,2276 grain, and the three wires 0,6828 grain; and their 
specific gravity being 8,7, their loss of weight, by sinking 1 inch in water, would be 
= 0,0785 grain. This correction it may be necessary hereafter to attend to. 
f The glass jar is made somewhat conical, being in 
inches.

It may also be noted, that 1 inch in depth of the water near the top is — x 13 cubic
