THE SCHOOL OF Artificial FIREWORKS 1. The Ordering and making in a true Proportion the Moulds for Fireworks BEfore you proceed to the making of Rockets for Fire-works it is requisit to understand how to order and make your Moulds and other Instruments for the same and first for your Moulds You must provide a piece of good dry Box Holly Walnut-tree Cr●b Tree or some such like tough Wood without Shakes or Knots and when you have thus done it is fit to know of what length and breadth you desire to have your Mould for following this kind of proportion all other sorts of Moulds are made great and small therefore you ought to have a Turner to turn and bore the same As for Example I would have the Hole of a Mould bored but an Inch diameter or wide then the length of the Mould must be six times so long as the Hole is wide which is six Inches and on each side of the Hole half an Inch thick So that when the Mould is turned round it is two Inches over in breadth When you have done this you must have a bottom made and it is to be fitted therein II. The order and making of Rowlers Rammers and other things for the Coffins HAving provided your Mould then you are to fit your Rowler which must be two third parts of the breadth of the bore of the Mould and the length thereof six Inches longer than the Mould which is for rowling of your Paper with a Hole to be bored in the bottom to receive a Wyre which must be fasten'd in another piece of Wood some-what shorter to take out at your pleasure the use thereof shall be described when I shall shew the order of making the Coffins When you have fitted your Rocket then proceed to the making of your Rammers which must always be two at the least for each several Mould as they increase in largeness so you must be fitted with several Rammers by reason of the taper Needle Having fitted your Rammers provide a piece of Box which must serve to make your whole Coffins to put the work which you intend on the Head of your Rockets III. How to order and make the Coffins of Paper HAving explain'd the manner and form of the Moulds with the other things belonging to the same I will now shew the use of them in their several orders Provide you some good large strong Paper for your work And to know what length your Paper must be let it be always the length of your Mould so shall you have one Breadth left above the Mould the use whereof shall be shewed hereafter Now having provided your Paper in length ready take your rowler and one length of Paper and begin to rowl when you have rowled one Sheet you must have a Board with a Handle to roul it with which must be done in this manner You must hold the Rowler in your left Hand and with your right Hand hold the Board by the Handle and then lay down your Rowler upon some smooth Chest or Table which when you have done rowl another length of Paper and so proceed in rowling between every Sheet untill you have rowled on so much as will fill the Mould very streight When you have thus done draw forth the Rowler about an Inch and then take the other short Rowler and put it in and there you shall have a place left for the choaking of the Rocket of which is next following IV. The order and manner how you shall choak a Rocket WHEN you are to choak a Rocket you must have an Iron Hook or a Staple driven into some Post to which you must fasten your Cord which must be bigger or less according to the bigness of your Rocket by reason that a small Cord will not choak a great Rocket for want of Strength and a great Cord will not serve for a small one in regard that it will make too great a choaking so that you must have a bigger and a less and when you have so done you must tye one End of the Cord to the Hook or Staple and at the other End about a Yard off tye a strong Stick in fashion of a Swing it must be strong because it bea●eth the Weight of the Body which when you have provided put the Stick between your Leggs and wind the Cord about the Rocketcace in the place appointed which must be between the long Rowler and the short when that is done girt it by degrees ever turning the rowler to the End it may come together more close and neat and when you have sufficiently choaked it draw forth your short Rowler and
