DescriptionDocketed as Boulton Watt & Co. Docketed “Boiler and engines of Navy 50 horse engines are completed. The Carron’s wants but a few days work to finish it. The City of Edinburgh’s will leave on Thursday – is a good piece of work but too high. Quantity of sediment in Carron’s old boiler and doubts are entertained of its not being worth repair. Wishes the speculative boilers to be considered for the Post Office and the 10 horse and 14 horse for Pritchard. Turner returned from Dolphin and Thetis. Laird and Erickson’s high pressure boiler and engines a failure.”
