I love how you constantly change shots to minimize morphing. It's very smart!

Amazing,this is what I talk about,I am 76 and knew and lived with people that lived this way,I met my great grandmother born in the 1870's,worked with my grandfather ploughing with a single furrow moud board plough and 2 gigantic Clydesdale draught horses,he had no electricity,open fire and a kerosene lamp, life is so fast and hectic today, too many rules and regulations,it has all happened so fast,it is easier now, though I do miss the past.

My grandad worked on a colliery pump house restoration, the original Newcomen engine at Dudley Castle from 1712 used atmospheric pressure not steam pressure, big difference people miss.

I would have thought Watt's cylinder, having to be at boiling point all the time, would radiate more heat than Newcomen's cold cylinder.<br>Out of 10,000,000 High Pressure Steam Powered Engines by the year 1900, only 25,000 of them were Locomotives.

A seperate condenser was no use whatsoever to a Newcomen Atmospheric Pump. <br>It's only useful for Watt's Steam Pumps and Engines. It eliminated 14.7psi of Atmospheric resistance on a Watt Steam Pump or Engine. (That's the equivalent of two Newcomen Atmospheric Pumps of resistance on Watt's machines, before they could produce any work at all. !!). <br>The condenser also allowed him to make use of high pressure Steam below Atmospheric pressure. The first person ever to do so.

A briliiant story and video or film.I was a young man and work in the ferguslie and anchor mills in Paisley and I feel I should be proud to have been able to do that and that was in the 60s. Hwever a comminist called Jimmy Ried brought the ,ills and the unions down. I was not there when the mills closed but I do remember all the equipment geting moved to india. I was an apprectice projectionist at the old Greens Playhouse in the hight st. And saw the news realls of the clossing of the mills.<br>I also got into the old original mills that clark built but were later demolished, I will have to look into that. take care ...
