Jarrit Smith's 1751 Newcomen Engine, Steve Grudgings, A4, 56pp
http://moorebooks.co.uk/shelves/cart.php?target=product&sns_mode=featured_product&product_id=20130&category_id=249 This book was launched at the recent NAMHO and was very sought after - Jarrit Smith’s 1751 Newcomen Engine at Coalpit Heath, South Gloucestershire. Previously unreported, a full set of Suppliers’ bills have been researched to give the basis for this book which is over 60 pages, including photographs and diagrams. This book is a fascinating insight into a very early “atmospheric” pumping engine and, as such, it should appeal to everyone interested in stationary engines. £9.99 + postage & packing
I do wish publishers would stop treating us as naive shoppers though why not simply a straight £10.00
