Not illustrated. 1881 edition. Excerpt: ... rest, as was the case in the atmospheric engine, all the valves were thrown open and steam was blown through the engine to expel air from the cylinder, pipes, and condenser, and fill every part with steam. The equilibrium-valve was then closed, the steam and 1 See letter from Watt to Smeaton in 1778, in Farey on the Steam Engine, p. 329, note. exhaust valves being left open. The injection water being admitted into the condenser, the steam in the cylinder was destroyed, and a vacuum produced under the piston, whereupon the steam from the boiler, pressing upon its upper side, carried it to the bottom of the stroke. The steam and exhaust valves were then closed, and the equilibrium-valve was opened, thus allowing the steam to press equally on the upper and under sides of the piston; and the weight of the pump-rods, meeting with no resistance, carried the piston back to the top of the cylinder, the steam that was above it passing to its under side in the meanwhile. The equilibrium-valve was then closed, leaving the engine ready for another stroke, which ensued immediately upon the steam and exhaust valves being again opened. The steam was thus employed twice over, first above, and afterwards under, the piston, as is still the case in the Cornish pumping engine and other single-acting engines at the present day. CHAPTER XIII. Watt's Double-acting Engine, Or Engine Of RevoLution, FOR DRIVING MILL-WORK OF ALL KINDS. Reference has already been made to the attempts on the part of Watt to produce continuous motion round an axis, by means of an engine of the steamwheel class. In this he was unsuccessful. He was fully alive to the boundless field which existed for the application of an engine capable of producing a regular rotatory motion. It had...

This book traces the diffusion trajectory of the second and third generation of British steam engines, the Watt and high-pressure models, covering the period 1774 to 1870. It begins by subjecting to econometric analysis the latest version of Dr. Kanefsky's database on 18th century steam engines coming up with an upward revision of the total amount of horsepower installed by 1800. Subsequent chapters delve into the determinants of the diffusion process through the third quarter of the 19th century relating to engines used both in mining and industry as well as transportation (railways, steam cars). The book's main contribution to the literature lies in drawing material from a very large volume of 18th- and 19th-century sources found in the Dibner Library of Rare Books, Smithsonian, and by utilizing a fair amount of technical literature pertaining to the economic factors driving the diffusion process. This great expansion of the empirical material has led to bringing multiple revisions to the work of other authors on the key aspects and determinants of the diffusion process. In conjunction with the publication by the author of an earlier monograph on the first generation of steam engines, the Newcomen model, the present study completes the task of offering the most comprehensive account of the preeminent and most strategic technology of the British Industrial Revolution. This book will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers of economic history and history of technology, interested in a better understanding of the industrial revolution in general and the role of British steam engines in particular.
