CARY, Optician, No. 182, near Norfolk-Street, Strand, THE Gentleman's Magazine: For NOVEMBER, 1797. BEING THE FIFTH NUMBER OF VOL. LXVII. PART II. MR. URBAN, I Nov. 8. Na tour which I have, lately made in Lancafhire, I procured an opportunity of feeing a Work, of which I beg leave to fend you a fhort account for the entertainment of your Readers. The fingularity of the Place in which it is constructed, the original boldness of the defign, the Ingenuity and Mechanifm dilplayed in planning and executing it, the Difpatch with which it has been finished, the Simplicity, Beauty, and Harmony of its parts, tending to One United Whole, and the Perfection to which it is proved to to have been brought, now that it is practically in ufe, all concur to convince me, that it is at least equally altón fhing with any other of the Stupendous Works, which have been planned, and fo fuccefsfully executed by the Duke of Bridgewater. Of this likewife, as of moft of his other great works, His Grace is the Planner and Contriver. At Worley, in Lancashire, where the Duke's Navigation, above-ground, begins, and proceeds, either to Manchefter, or, turns to Runcorn to join the River Merfey in the tide-way to Liverpool, or, to unite itfelf with the Staffordshire Navigation at Prefton Brook, extending along a Line of thirty fix Miles without a Lock, there is an additional Continuation of a Navigable Canal, about seventeen Miles in length, tunnelled under-ground, and hollowed out of the bowels of the Mountains, for the purpose of getting, and conveying in baats along the Ca. nal, the Coals with which that district abounds. Thele Seventeen Miles of Underground Navigable Canal are divided into two lengths, and lie upon two different Levels, or Stories: Oce, is upon the Level of the aboveground Navigable Canal, of which it is a Continuation: The Other, is upon a higher Level. To convey loaded Boats from the Upper to the Lower Leve!, and to float them out without tranfhipping or da maging the Coals, is the Intention of making the Inclined Plane, which his Grace has very lately completed, This Inclined Plane is at the distance of nearly Three Miles, under ground, from the entrance of the Tunnel, which leads to it. From the polite and communicative Attention of One of his Grace' Agents, I am enabled to fubjoin a meafure.nent of its dimensions: From the Higher Main Level to the Top of the Locks of the Inclined Plane is 29 Yards upon a Level. The Length of the Locks is 18 Yards, and the Width of each is 8 feet. The Wall between the Locks is. 9 Inches above the Surface of the Level Water: its Breadth is 3 Feet. The Depth of the Locks under-wa ter, at North End, is 4 Feet 6 Inches, at South End, is 8 Fect. The Diameter of the Main Shaft which the Rope works upon to let the loaded boats down, and draw the empty boats up, is 4 Feet 1 Inches, and its Circumference 15 Feet 3 Inches. The Rope is 3 Inches in Diameter. The Number of Iron Teeth, or Coggs, in the Spur Wheel, which is faftened to the Break Wheel, is 372; and the little Nut Wheel, which puts it in Motion, contains Eleven Coggs. The Power of both enables a Man, who ufes Force fufficient to lift Forty Pounds, to raife Four Tons. The Height of the Aich, or Rock, in the place where the Break Wheel works, is 21 Feet, and the Width, or Diameter, of the Tunnel there is zo Feet 6 Inches. This Tunnel is coatinued of the fame Dimenfions nearly, |
