At this Time Mr. Baldwin went, with some Friends, to take an early Dinner: he also recapitulated the Articles, to be certain that Nothing was omitted. [Sidenote: Inventory for the Voyage.] 12. The following Inventory, with which he ascended, may be of Use to future Aironauts; to whom _only_ it is addressed. The Cable and Grapple are considered as Part of the Balloon. (See Section 13.) 12. Article 1. A portable Barometer,[2] with a common Syphon or Bulb, (purchased at Lausanne.) 12. 2. Martin’s Thermometer,[3] with Farenheit’s Scale[4] for the Degrees of Temperature. 12. 3. Mariner’s Compass in a double Box, to be used when the Sun is intercepted from the View by Clouds, in order to discover whether the Balloon turns round. 12. 4. Down, or small Feathers, to be loose in the Pocket, and thrown out, when enshrined in Clouds; or at any other Time, to shew the Rise or Fall of the Balloon. 12. 5. An Asses’ Skin Patent Pocket-book; as Wet spoils Paper. 12. 6. Two _red_ Lead Pencils: each Pencil ready pointed at both Ends, to save Time and Trouble: preferable to Ink, which may be spilt or frozen. The Strokes with _red_ Lead are not so easily obliterated, as when made with a _black_ Lead Pencil. 12. 7. A small sharp Knife pointed, and ready open, or which will open easily. A Pair of Scissars. 12. 8. A _wicker_ Bottle of Brandy and Water, only three Parts full, half and half: such Bottles are more secure: and such Mixture will not soon freeze. The cochuc or elastic Bottle is still better. A Cork-screw. 12. 9. _Compact_ Provisions, which do not soil the Fingers or Pocket-book, as Confectionaries, Fruit, Biscuit, Bread. 12. 10. A _boarded_ Map of the Country over which the Aironaut may be supposed to pass: the Back serving as a Table. 12. 11. Two Needles with large Eyes: the _raw_ Silk put through, and tyed on a Knot at the Ends to prevent the Needles from being lost: to be ready at the Instant wanted, to sew up any Holes within Reach, in the Balloon; the Holes being first tyed up with Twine. The Needles to be stuck into Parchment, containing a small Hank of _raw_ Silk: the Needle Silk run round the Parchment, to keep the Hank dry. The whole Hank to be tyed by one End to the Side of the Car; when above all Clouds, to shew, by the Divergency of the Threads, the Electricity of the Air. 12. 12. A few Yards of Dutch Twine, loose in the Pocket, to tye the Neck of the Balloon in descending.
