Download or read book An Economic History of British Steam Engines 1774 1870 written by Haris Kitsikopoulos and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-08-29 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Victorian Lincoln written by Sir Francis Hill and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1974 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from a wide range of local sources, Sir Francis describes Lincoln as it underwent major change: with the advent of the railways, this ancient cathedral city, hitherto predominantly a market centre, became an industrial city. Sir Francis discusses all aspects of life in the Victorian city, political and municipal reform, the continuing influence of the gentry, the growth of non-confomity and the recovery of Anglicanism, the awakening of the cathedral to new life, and population growth with its attendant social problems - housing, public health and education. Throughout, the author's personal knowledge of the city enables him to give the feel of the period in a fascinating and vivid way. This volume will be of great interest to specialists in nineteenth-century history, and, like the others in the series, to local historians and people who care for the city.

Download or read book A Short History of the Steam Engine written by H. W . Dickinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-01-27 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1938, this volume details the steam engine as the most dynamic factor in the Industrial Revolution, freeing humanity from their age-long dependence upon the power of water, wind, and animals, or of their own muscles. Itself the offspring of coal and iron, it made possible the sinking of deeper mines and the casting and forging of greater quantities of iron, from which machines were constructed to be powered by steam in the factories of the rapidly growing industrial areas. Soon the mass-produced goods from these mills were transported by steam locomotives and steamships all over the world. This was the Age of Steam. Even today, steam turbines still drive the dynamos of our electric power stations, whether fuelled by coal, oil or nuclear energy. Much has been written about the steam engine, but this book, first produced by the late Dr. H.W. Dickinson just before the second World War, is still the best short account. It describes developments from the pioneering efforts of Savery and Newcomen, through the achievements of Watt and Trevethick, down to Parsons and modern times.

Book excerpt: Robert Robey was born in Nottingham in 1826. He established the business in Lincoln in 1854 with George Lamb Scott as Robey & Scott, at the Perseverance Ironworks. In 1854 Robey & Scott built the first iron framed threshing machine. Another partner Thomas Gamble joined the firm, Scott resigned in September 1856 and became Gamble & Robey. Robey Steam wagon The Robey Steam WagonIn 1861 the firm produced its first portable steam engine, moving on to traction engines. They also made steam engines for industry, railways and steam wagons for the road. Robeys was an important employer in Lincoln, employing 114 men by 1865. By 1868 the firm was known as Robey & Co Ltd. The Perseverance Ironworks was enlarged in 1871 and covered a total area along Canwick Road of seven acres.Robert Robey died in 1876, at the age of 50, in Nottingham where he then lived, taking a less active part in the running of the business.Robeys are believed to have built a prototype of steam ploughing equipment to the designs of W. Savory, but did not pursue this further. A Robey steam engine won a gold medal for reliability at the Paris Exhibition in 1878.By 1885 Robeys manufacturing took place at the Globe Ironworks, reflecting their world- wide sales, which was possibly a renaming of the site rather than a move to new premisesRobeys produced threshing machines, saw benches, mills, and elevators, all for steam power. Electrical plant supplied by Robeys lit Lincoln Cathedral to celebrate both the Golden and Diamond Jubilees of Queen Victoria. The electric winding gear for Blackpool Tower was produced by Robeys. Robeys main customers for winding gear were coal mines.The strength of their general steam engineering business in boilers, stationary engines, etc. enabled the firm to survive the decline of agricultural steam business after the First World War. The firm added road rollers to the product range in the 1920s, and after 1945 moved into electrical and diesel engineering, finally going out of business in February 1988.This book was first printed in 1986
