10 ページ - But the water by moving acquires momentum and new force, and consequently is no longer equal to the column ov, to which the valve has been adjusted, but is superior to it, by which it is enabled to overpower the resistance of the weight t, and it carries the valve up with it, and closes the orifice r. This is no sooner done than the water is constrained to become stationary again, by which the momentum is lost, and the valve and weight once more become superior, and fall...

Thus situated, the adjustment of the weight...
