WHICH DOES NOT PROJECT.
<
lb

feet high and three feet in diameter, bound with wooden hoops; it has a
<
lb

square blow-hole always open, which catches the breezes and guides them
<
lb

down either by a pipe into a conduit or by many pipes into the shaft. </
s

<
s
>To
<

the top of the upper pipe is attached a circular table as thick as
<
lb
/>
the bottom of the barrel, but of a little less diameter, so that the barrel may be
<
lb
/>
turned around on it; the pipe projects out of the table and is fixed in a
<
lb
/>
round opening in the centre of the bottom of the barrel. </
s

<
s
>To the end of the
<
lb
/>
pipe a perpendicular axle is fixed which runs through the centre of the barrel
<
lb
/>
into a hole in the cover, in which it is fastened, in the same way as at the
<
lb
/>
bottom. </
s

<
s
>Around this fixed axle and the table on the pipe, the movable
<
lb

barrel is easily turned by a zephyr, or much more by a wind, which govern
<

the wing on it. </

<
s
>This wing is made of thin boards and fixed to the upper

part of the barrel on the side furthest away from the blow-hole; this, as I
<

have said, is square and always open. </
