For Edward and George Cooper, Bradford, Wiltshire. The firm also appears to have been called Joyce Cooper & Co. According to the List of Engines made at Soho, the engine was moved to Staverton in 1814. Joyce Cooper & Co. had bought gas lighting apparatus for a woollen manufactory at Staverton in 1807, so the engine was possibly moved to this manufactory.
