Some Obfervations on thefe Water- Works. 
Although they may juftly be efteemed as good as 
any in Europe, yet are there, as I conceive, fothe 
Things which might be altered very much for the 
better. 
Firjl , If inftead of fixteen Forcers they worked 
only eight, the Stroke might be five Feet in each For- 
cer, which would draw a great deal more Water with 
the fame Power on the Wheel ; for then there would 
be but half the opening and Ihutting of Valves, confe- 
quently but half that Lofs: And a five Foot Stroke 
draws above double the Quantity of two Strokes 
of i* each, by near f, in regard the Velocity is 
B 2 double,
