Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the Institution of Civil Engineers, 1889, Vol. 3: Part I I am acquainted with no other recorded trial of the whole quantity of steam passing through Watt's double engine than that made by himself and Rennie, at the Albion Mills I have also extracted these particulars, and tabulated them as affording a specimen of that which was considered by Watt himself as the full performance of his rotative engine. The duty done by the engine at the Albion Mills, as estimated by the quantity of steam used, has probably not been exceeded by any one of thesame unexpansive kind since constructed by Watt, or other makers, though in a few instances less coal may have been consumed through more skilful management, andthe use of better boilers.
