DescriptionKept with MS 3147/3/370/8b. James Watt has made notes for his reply at the end of Allingham’s letter. Has seen a Boulton & Watt engine at Goodwyn & Co., brewers. Would like to know as exactly as possible the cost of an engine to work a 5 cwt. hammer making 120 blows per minute. Has also been recommended to use a Boulton & Watt engine for his forge.
