Description: | Watt is shown in a relaxed pose holding a pair of upturned compasses in his right hand with his left arm leaning on the cylinder of a steam engine. Additional Information: James Watt is chiefly remembered as the inventor of the separate condenser - the greatest single improvement ever made to the steam engine.(1) In 1774 he joined Matthew Boulton, Birmingham's leading manufacturer, in order to market his invention, a partnership which has become one of the most famous in world economic history. | Subjects: | Statue | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Sculptor: Munro, Alexander | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=6817... | Go to resource |
