How to dispose 2 vessels upon one foot, the one being empty, and the other almost full of wine, and yet shall not runne out of the vessell, unlesse you fill the empty vessell with water, and then the one shall run pure wine, the other fayre water.
LEt there bee 2 vessels placed upon one foot, having a hollow cane passing from one to the other (as I taught in the precedent probleme) but let there bee 2 cranes as F, G, one in each vessell; then fill one of the vessels with
[illustration]
wine, but
not above
the crane, so
it will not
runne of it
selfe: but if
you powre
water into
the other
vessell, untill it bee full, it will cause that wine shall runne
out of the one, and cleare water out of the other.
