TitleList of Contents of the Watt Room
LevelItem
Date[1895]
DescriptionThis slim volume is the only document relating to The Watt Room that is not in Henry Hazleton’s hand. The fact that it includes Hazleton’s lists of engines described above (MS 3147/10/11) suggests that it dates from after Hazleton’s time. It was almost certainly compiled by George Tangye or one of his employees, either as an inventory just before or after the contents of The Watt Room were transferred to Tangye’s Cornwall Works, or as a shelf list. The fact that the description of the contents of some of the cupboards matches those on Hazleton’s list suggests it was an inventory taken at Soho Foundry. Despite the fact that it is not strictly a document created by James Watt & Co. it has been kept with the other Watt Room material as it records Henry Hazleton’s arrangement.
