And besides al this, our ship did take in so much oile and other commodities as we bestowed 100. whole clothes in. But because, as I doe suppose, it is not the use of London to take ships to fraight after that order before prescribed, neither I think that the mariners wil take such paines as our men will: Therefore. my counsell is, if you thinke good, to freight some ship of Hul or Newcastle , for I am sure that you may have them there better cheap to freight, then here at London. Besides al this, one may have such men as wil take paines for their merchants. And furthermore when it shal please God that the ship shal returne to come to discharge at Hull, which will be the most for your profit for the sales of all such like commoditie as comes from that place, as for fish, oyle, and Salmon chiefly, hee that will seeke a better market for the sales then at Hull, he must seeke it o

t was journaled and stepped in a movable frame, and the hoistingwheels formed a partial counterpoise for the load suspended from the end of the jib. Fairbairn's tubular crane (lower figure g) is made of wrought-iron plates riveted together, and arranged so as to give the convex back and upper sides a sufficient degree of strength to resist tension, while the concave side has a cellular structure to resist compression. Cranes were worked by hydraulic pressure as early as 1846, at Newcastle, England; subsequently the lock-gates and cranes of the Albert Dock, Liverpool, and those of the Grimsby Dock, were worked by water, derived either from the town-reservoirs or from elevated reservoirs into which it was pumped for that special purpose. These sources, being fluctuating or expensive, gave rise to the adaptation of machinery for the purpose. Armstrong's hydraulic crane, English, 1854 (h, Fig. 1506), consists of one or more hydraulic presses, with a set of sheaves used in the

The illustration shows a portable device of this kind, consisting of a massive cast-iron table mounted on a truck, and having a presser-head operated by a lever which turns a screw working through a box in an upright standard. See also F, Plate XXV. Rail′way. A way or road provided with rails, upon which the wheels of the carriages roll. Roads with wooden rails (tramways) were first laid down by Mr. Beaumont at or in the vicinity of Newcastle, England, 1602. Between this and 1650 they began to become common in the Newcastle coalfields, and were employed in transporting coal from the pits whence it was extracted to the staiths or discharging-places on the Tyne. Their arrangement was thus described in 1676:— The manner of the carriage is by laying rails of timber from the colliery to the river, exactly straight and parallel; and bulky carts are made, with four rollers fitting those rails, whereby the carriage is so easy, that o
