SHIPS OF WOOD AND IRON, AND IRON TANKS. Trevithick and Dickinson's Specification of 1809. "The first of our said inventions or improvements is, a movable caisson or floating dock, made of wrought-iron plates riveted together, or fastened together by screws, or in any other secure manner for docking a ship or other vessel of considerable size while riding at her moorings in any suitable depth of water, by means of which the said ship may be supported as in a common dock, and the water pumped out so as to leave her keel dry in a few hours, without removing any of her stores, masts, or furniture. The said caisson or floating dock may be made of any convenient size or dimensions, but for the sake of precision in our description thereof, we shall mention certain dimensions fit to receive the largest first-rate, at the same time that we shall describe its form and structure. The internal figure of the said caisson or floating dock resembles that of a boat, and it may be made of wrought iron half an inch thick, and 220 feet long and o4 feet wide and 30 feet deep, with a flanch 6 feet wide extending horizontally outwards from the upper edge for the workmen to stand upon, and also to strengthen the caisson; the weight of such a caisson or floating dock is nearly 400 tons, and it is surrounded by an air-chamber or by air-chambers riveted water-tight to its external surface, which renders it so buoyant that it will draw only 9 feet water when the said air-chamber or air-chambers is or are empty; and the said air-chamber or air-chambers doth or do consist of wrought-iron plates riveted together, so as to form a semicylindrical hollow protuberance extending along the sides of the caisson horizontally, and of a figure which in any of the...

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.
