Ref NoMS 3147/3/44/7
TitleLetter. M. R. Boulton (Manchester) to John Southern (Soho)
LevelItem
Date18 June 1796
DescriptionCan Southern trace a letter that should have been sent back to Birmingham. Concern that it might fall into “the enemy’s possession”. The estimate arrived. Some of the “discarded Sohoites” in Manchester may try to cause trouble for Boulton & Watt. Problems with fitting the steam pipe to Owen’s engine, caused by a builder’s error. Mr. Lee is still “sore” about his boiler – it is pointless making accusations about his engineers at the present time. Asks for an estimate for 41 inch single reciprocating engine for a colliery.
