though turn'd by a winch at pleasure. The periphery of the circular plate on the right hand side is cut into a ratch wheel with a stop playing in the teeth to lock it by means of a spring pressing against the stop, & at the reverse end of the stop is a small knob which by being press'd it unlocks the ratch wheel & roller the same pressure of this knob throws the stop into a second spring ketch & holds the stop out of the teeth of the wheel, & gives liberty for the roller to turn either way at pleasure & on the other end of the the spring ketch is a second small knob which by pressing the small knob on the side it lets the stop fall again into the teeth of the wheel On the right & left hand sides of the mahogany frame are 2 Iron frames covered with brass plates (wherein the axis of the above roller turns) from withinside thise framis by the assistance of a winch's turning along spindle the width of the Table with a pinion at each end & 2 brass wheels one one each side communicating to 2 racks fix'd at the bottom of 2 rests by the turning of the winch it winds out both the rests & by a spring paysing a stop in the teeth of the brass wheel on the right hand side it is stopd at pleasure from returning & by pushing a small knob thats under the rack it unlocks the wheel & another spring with its ketch holds back the stop out of the wheel & gives liberty for the rests to return by the assistance of the winch (as before) These racks rests are hollow & compos'd of 4 peices of Iron in each 3 of which are rivetted together & at right angles & the 4th (or remaining) side is unclear into the top & bottom in order that t may occasionally be taken a sunder.
