DescriptionDetails of the engine, water wheel and milling machinery at Mr. Wright’s mill. Their works are about double the size of Mr. Wright’s. Details of the amount of seed they crush. Unsure if the engine they saw is equivalent to Mr. Wright’s. Would James Watt recommend an engine with a water wheel or rotative motion? Mr. Wright’s mill has been sold and he has left Hull.
