CAMERA ÆOLIA, a contrivance for blowing the fire, for the fusion of ores, by means of water falling through a funnel into a close vessel, which sends forth as much air or vapour as keeps up a constant blast. By the intervention of another vessel for the air to expand in by the way, it there deposits its humidity, which otherwise would impede the work.
