Model of a windlass, employed for raising and loweringships’ anchors, &c., fitted with Johnstone’s patent double-action lever purchase, also fitted with Gryll’s patentwhelps, which adjust the cable as it comes in, causing theturns to shift laterally; thus the leading turn is alwaysin a line with the hawse-pipe, and the necessity of usinga forebit stopper, and of fleeting over the cable, is ob-viated. The whelps being flat upon the face, and thelinks of the cable dropping into the cavities between, andabutting against the edge of the whelps, the cable isfound to hold on, and is not liable to run out, except tothe extent of a few links under a very heavy strain. Thedangerous and troublesome operation of hooking up thecable, and fleeting it over upon the windlass, being gotrid of, much time and labour is saved.
Model of a ship’s capstan, for raising anchors, &c.,fitted with Johnstone’s patent rim or cable-holder, whichaffords the advantage of being adapted for working chain-cables of various sizes; also fitted with Gryll’s patentnon-surging whelps.

This lamp consists of a metal vessel of about the sizeof a two or three pint measure; it may be made of tin-plate or copper. It has a cover to prevent the waste orevaporation of the material used for producing the ligHt,to which the wick is attached. In this vessel is suspendedby the cover a coil of metallic wire, interwoven or coiledwith cotton or any other fibrous matter, for the purposeof holding a portion of the inflammable spirit, which maybe either turpentine or any other of the well-known in-flammable liquids. The metallic wick is held in the handwhilst exhibiting, and may be carried to any part of theship without injury or danger, or be swung rapidly roundwith the arm; thus forming a large circle of flame re-sembling a wheel rocket.
