| Description | Kept with (b) below.
Have received communication from Charles O’Connor and the bills. Refusal of John Galloway’s bill. Alterations to and details of the plans for the ram. Enclosing a cross-section showing heights. Distribution of the order for pipes to other foundries. Rise in the price of cast iron and therefore the charge to Falmouth. Problem of sending an erector. Do not anticipate rival producers of the ram, so do not require an act protecting their patent. In most situations a steam engine would be more suitable. Expect the steam engine will replace wind and cattle power, and have heard of previous attempts to introduce it in Jamaica. |
