Abstract

The 1785 Boulton and Watt rotative beam engine originally installed at Whitebread's London brewery, is now in the collection of the Power House Museum, Sydney, Australia. It will be restored to steaming condition for display in 1988. It illustrates the engineering achievements of James Watt, and the significance of steam power in the industrial revolution.
