First Mutation

Must be a hexagon vertical wheel, fourteen inches diameter; on one

side of the block, whose diameter is two inches and a quarter, is

fixed a tin barrel A, see fig. 53, Nᵒ. 1; this barrel must be a little

less in diameter than the nave; let the length of the barrel and block

be six inches. Having fixed the cases on the wheel, carry a leader

from the tail of the last case into the tin barrel through a hole made

on purpose two inches from the block; at the end of this leader let

there be about an inch or two of loose match, but take care to well

secure the hole wherein the pipe is put, to prevent any sparks falling

in, which would light the second mutation before its time, and confuse

the whole piece.
