To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It consists of a screw, A, work* ing in a nut To a movable bottom-board, D, a sec- ond screw, B, is affixed. This second screw works in the interior of A, which is hoUow, and in which a oorrespondiiig thread is cut When, therefore, A is screwed downward, the threads of B pass upward, and the movable piece, D, urged forward by the screw which has the greater thread, it is drawn back by that which has the less ; so that during each revolution the screw uistead of being advanced through a space eq...ual to the breadth of either of the threads, moves through a space equal to their difference. Suppose the distance between the threads of A to be l-2(Hh of an inch, and of B l-21st of an inch ; then in turning the screw A once^ ibe board D will descend a distance equal to the difference between l-20th and 1-2 1st, or the l-420th of an inch.. Hence, if the circle described by the han- dle be 26 inches while the screw advances l-420th of an inch, the power will be to the weight as 1 to 8,400. ^ 24*7.
