sad Co. at Bettersea,to whim:sap experiment made with a Steam
Engine of eight horses' power, erectod by Messrs. • Bolton and
Watt, to ascertain what quantity of wheat could be ground by
the said engine with a given quantity of coats. The engine was
in good working condition, the mill-stones in good order,and the
experiment was made with one pair of atones, French bun, 4
feet 2 inches diameter.
The Engine was worked with proper care and atteptioo fiN
three hours and 50 minutes, and in that time ground three quar-
ters seven bushels and and a half of wheat, \YU:cheater meows;
with five bushels and one-third of a bushel of coals. ,The weight
of the wheat was 59 pounds, neat, per bushel. The coals were
from Castlewood Main, 448 wounds.
