Transcription:\n ‘My Lord and Gentlemen\nThe Honour and Happyness I feel at being a Member of this Real Patriotic Society, induces me to Offer for their inspection and Approbation, divested of every pecuniary View. A model of a Machine for the preserving my fellow Subjects form the Shocking and Often Fatal Accidents, which so frequently happen in these usefull and necessary machines, the Wheel Cranes.\nThe most gracious permission of His Majesty (in whose Royal Cabinet this Model has been permitted to be placed) to Lay it before the Society, and the Particular Appropriation of some of my ingenious Mechanical freinds [sic], makes me flatter myself it has some superiour degree of Merit both for its Simplicity and Certainty to any Attempt hitherto produced for the Same Salutary purpose. And if the Society should for the Publick benefit be induced either to have this invention Added to any one of the Working Cranes on the Keys [sic] (which can be done wth Great facility without Altering or disturbing any of their present work) or to be possessed of a Model, I am ready to Oblige them in Either Case without any Profit to myself.\nAnd am My Lord and Gentlemen you most Devoted Humble Servt. Christr Pinchbeck\n25th Feby 1766’\n\n
