All Sorts of Wheel-Carriage, Improved Wherein it is plainly made appear, that a much less than the usual Draught of Horses &c. will be requir's, in Waggons, Carts, Coaches, and other Wheel Vehicles, as likewise all Water-Mills, Wind Mills and Horse-Mills

12 illustrations on 5 folding copper plates Title page continues This method being found good in Practice, by the trial of a Coach and Cart already made, shows of what great Adventage it may be to all Farmers, Carriers, Masons, Miners, &c. and the Publick in general, by saving them one half of the Expences they are now at in the Draught of these Vehicles, according to the common Method. The whole illustrated with Copper Plates. And an Explanation of the Structure of a Coach and Cart, according to this Method. “An interesting work on wheel bearings for vehicles, mill work, blocks, pendulums, etc. Rowe states in his preface that his improvements stem from his understanding of the principles of bearing construction, in particular that the weight carried by a bearing rather than the contact area is the limiting factor in trying to reduce the friction of a bearing. He describes the use of friction wheels supporting the main axle, whose axles in turn rest on other friction wheels. This system, though not widely adopted, was used in Atwood’s machine.” - Roger Gaskill. Rowe obtained a patent on his improvements which are illustrated in five plates, along with their application to a horse drawn farm cart, a covered wagon and an aristocratic carriage.
