flank of the proposed new build
=ing, the space to work upon was
equal to 247 ' 6" + 24 ' 4 1/2 or a clear
271 ' 10 1/2. The disposition of the
required Channels to meet the
above width was arranged as
follows: commencing from the
left of the avove diagram.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Abutment of mille Channel ---------------	4	2 1/2
Mill Channel	10	"
8 Waterways of main Channel 200	"

TOTAL WIDTH 271	10 1/2

It will be observed that the
first three items of the above Table
occupy a space of 18 ' 2 1/2 only,
whereas the Escape platform was
24 ' 4 1/2. it became necessary there
=fore, to cut away 6 ft 2 inches of
the front for the purpose of the
Lock Chamber ; with the exception
of this, aand the removal of the
wings and a portion of the Reser=
=vair of the Inlet, the whole of the
buildings which were formerly
constructed were brought into use
as abutments for the new work,
into which they were build without
any further modification : this
will be understood by referring
to Plate XIX of the atlas, which
exhibits the plan of this work
in all its details.

I have in the Chapter on
navigation cuts explained the
method by which the navigable
Canal and mill Chanel
reach the passages respectively
appropriated to their uses ; and
shewn how by means of revet=
ment.

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
