This paper presents a thermodynamic analysis of the Westfield Newcomen engine using archival data from two articles by Gerald Newbould. After a description of the configuration and operation of the Westfield engine, the subsequent analysis calculates the efficiencies of the major components which comprise a Newcomen engine: the boiler, the piston and cylinder, the pumps,…

Beginning around 1836 screw-pile and screw-cylinder elements were used successfully as helical foundations throughout the world to support a variety of large-scale civil engineering structures. Their development and use is largely attributed to engineers from the UK and the USA. The origins and rise of screw-pile and screw-cylinder foundations are reviewed from an historical perspective…
In 1917, Richard Pilcher, registrar and secretary of the Royal Institute of Chemistry, used the phrase, ‘the chemists’ war’ to describe the First World War [R. B. Pilcher, ‘Chemistry in Wartime’, The Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, 9 (1917), 4.]. Pitcher’s phrase was to prove prophetic in another way because the war would transform…
Investigation of nineteenth-century accounts, and displays, of a recording steam indicator attributed to James Watt and dated 1785 led to the discovery of an instrument engraved with that date. Other sources show that the first recording indicator in fact dates from the mid-1790s. The paper investigates the provenance of the '1785 recording indicator', its origins…
Weights of railway locomotives increased from less than 10 tons in 1825 to more than 100 tons at the zenith of steam power in the 1930s. With the elimination of steam traction, wagon loading became more critical. Early bridges of timber and cast iron became unsuitable as loadings increased, but on secondary lines some early…
