B06036	Navigation improv'd: or, The art of rowing ships of all rates, in calms, with a more easy, swift, and steady motion, than oars can. Also, a description of the engine that performs it; and the author's answer to all Mr. Dummer's objections that have been made against it ... By Tho. Savery, gent.

use_n of_o it_o will_v be_v very_o extraordinary_a upon_o which_o i_o nice_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o oar_n after_o which_o i_o contrive_v a_o engine_n more_o useful_a and_o applicable_a to_o ship_n which_o engine_n and_o oar_n be_v thus_o compare_v to_o each_o other_o the_o figure_n of_o a_o oar_n for_o a_o ship_n now_o suppose_v the_o oar_n at_o a_o on_o the_o side_n of_o the_o ship_n b_o being_n in_o a_o man_n hand_n and_o c_o to_o take_z hold_v of_o the_o water_n from_o b_o to_o a_o be_v but_o half_a as_o long_o as_o from_o a_o to_o c_o so_o that_o when_o the_o oar_n be_v move_v at_o b_o it_o move_v twice_o as_o far_o at_o c_o at_o the_o same_o time_n though_o but_o with_o half_a the_o strength_n for_o one_o man_n at_o c_z will_v pull_v as_o much_o as_o two_o at_o b_o so_o that_o the_o oar_n be_v nothing_o more_o than_o the_o leaver_n reverse_v which_o be_v a_o instrument_n use_v by_o all_o manner_n of_o people_n for_o the_o remove_n great_a weight_n and_o be_v a_o very_a pretty_a instrument_n for_o weigh_v for_o with_o one_o pound_n you_o may_v weigh_v ten_o twenty_o or_o hundred_o as_o you_o may_v see_v good_a as_o by_o the_o follow_a draught_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n so_o common_o use_v by_o all_o sort_n of_o trader_n who_o buy_v and_o sell_v by_o weight_n that_o it_o need_v no_o far_a explanation_n than_o that_o a_o be_v the_o centre_n of_o gravity_n and_o from_o thence_o to_o a_o b_o be_v 20_o time_n as_o long_o as_o from_o a_o to_o c_o so_o that_o although_o d_o be_v 20_o time_n as_o heavy_a as_o b_o yet_o they_o hang_v even_o for_o shall_v they_o incline_v one_o way_n or_o tother_o b_o must_v move_v 20_o time_n the_o space_n of_o d_o as_o in_o this_o figure_n where_o you_o find_v that_o b_o be_v remove_v twenty_o time_n the_o space_n of_o the_o c_o in_o the_o leaver_n and_o in_o the_o oar_n b_o be_v remove_v twice_o as_o far_o as_o c_o by_o which_o mean_v b_o go_v twice_o as_o fast_o and_o take_v more_o hold_n of_o the_o water_n than_o otherwise_o it_o will_v and_o be_v it_o long_o from_o a_o to_o b_o it_o will_v still_o have_v a_o great_a sweep_v and_o provide_v you_o have_v force_n enough_o at_o c_o it_o will_v still_o be_v more_o useful_a but_o the_o reason_n why_o oar_n for_o ship_n be_v not_o make_v four_o time_n as_o long_o without_o board_n as_o within_o be_v that_o than_o their_o bigness_n will_v make_v they_o unhandy_v and_o you_o can_v not_o apply_v force_n enough_o at_o c_o to_o work_v they_o without_o some_o help_n more_o than_o bare_o man_n hand_n this_o be_v plain_o see_v by_o our_o wherrye_n who_o oar_n be_v four_o time_n as_o long_o without_o board_n as_o within_o and_o very_o few_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o swiftness_n of_o their_o motion_n and_o i_o hope_v to_o prove_v very_o plain_o that_o the_o engine_n i_o have_v contrive_v be_v exact_o the_o proportion_n of_o wherry_n oar_n both_o in_o force_n and_o swiftness_n and_o more_o useful_a than_o oar_n of_o that_o proportion_n be_v they_o practicable_a and_o can_v be_v apply_v to_o a_o ship_n for_o every_o body_n that_o ever_o see_v row_v know_v that_o there_o be_v as_o much_o time_n and_o labour_n spend_v in_o take_v their_o stroke_n with_o a_o oar_n which_o be_v no_o help_n to_o the_o vessel_n be_v motion_n as_o in_o make_v that_o stroke_n which_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o the_o motion_n whereas_o the_o work_n of_o this_o engine_n be_v one_o continue_a stroke_n with_o the_o same_o purchase_n or_o power_n in_o the_o water_n as_o oar_n have_v that_o be_v four_o time_n the_o length_n without_o board_n as_n within_o so_o that_o of_o course_n the_o motion_n of_o the_o ship_n move_v by_o this_o engine_n must_v with_o the_o same_o number_n of_o man_n be_v much_o swift_a than_o with_o oar_n and_o i_o hope_v to_o prove_v near_o twice_o as_o swift_a when_o under-way_n but_o first_o it_o will_v be_v convenient_a to_o give_v you_o a_o draught_n of_o the_o engine_n now_o the_o bar_n in_o the_o capstand_v move_v one_o foot_n the_o paddle_n move_v four_o which_o be_v exact_a in_o proportion_n to_o the_o oar_n of_o wherrye_n for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o blade_n of_o such_o a_o oar_n move_v four_o foot_n for_o the_o oar_n move_v one_o and_o one_o pound_n weight_n on_o the_o blade_n shall_v weigh_v four_o on_o the_o loom_n so_o that_o one_o pound_n on_o the_o end_n of_o the_o paddle_n will_v weigh_v four_o on_o the_o capstand_v bar_n and_o no_o more_o and_o a_o man_n at_o d_o stepping_z three_o foot_n makes_z l_o go_v twelve_o as_o do_v a_o man_n at_o the_o loom_n of_o a_o wherry_n oar_n move_v three_o foot_n make_v the_o blade_n go_v twelve_o so_o that_o all_o you_o have_v to_o do_v be_v to_o make_v paddle_n proportionable_o large_a to_o the_o number_n of_o man_n you_o can_v bring_v to_o work_v at_o your_o capstand_n so_o as_o the_o man_n do_v not_o tire_v themselves_o by_o work_v too_o fast_o or_o too_o slow_a a_o scale_n of_o 32_o foot_n description_n a._n the_o line_n the_o ship_n make_v
