| Description | The Inventories are of various descriptions and do not form a series. The titles of most of these are self-explanatory. The 1809 volume is an inventory of the Mint as a whole. The undated volume conjecturally assigned to the year 1841 appears to be of the same form as the Rolling Mill Inventory of that year, and contains inventories of various machinery, namely a coining press, a cutting-out press, a milling machine, a multiplying press, a die-turning lathe, an annealing stove, and a die-annealing and hardening stove. The Inventory of 1849 may be the one mentioned in a letter from Charles James Chubb to John Coles Symes, 30 Jul. [see correspondence in MS 3782/11/25]. |
