I'HIS is to certify, That we, the undersigned, were
present on the 14th of March, 1811, on the premises of
John Hodgson, Esq. and Co. at Battersea, to witness an expert-_
went made with a Steam Engine of eight horses' power erected
by Messrs. Bolton and Watt, to ascertain what quantity ofWheat
could be ground by die said Engino, with a given quantity of
Coals. The Engine was in good working condition, the Mill-
stones in good order, and the experiment was made with one
pair of Stones, French Burs, 4 feet 2 inches diameter.
The Engine was worked with proper care ant attention for
three hours and fifty minutes, and in that time ground three
quarters, seven bushels and a half of Wheat, Winchester mea-
sure, 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 Collingwood Main, 448 Tounds.

• This is to certify, That we, the undersigned, were present on
the 17th of April, 1811, on the premises of Messrs. Woolf and
. Edwards, Mill-street, Lambeth, to witness an experiment made
with a Ste3m Engine, constructed by them on Mr. Woolf's Pa-
tent Principle, to ascertain what quantity of Wheat could be
ground by the said Engine with a given quantity of Coals. The
Engine was in good working condition, Me millstones in good
order, and the experiment was made with two pair of stones,
French burs, four feet diameter. The Engine was worked with
proper care and attention for two hours and 44 minutes, and in
that time ground 33 bushels of Wheat, Winchester measure'
with one bushel, three pecks, and 14 lbs. (say 161 lbs.) of Coals
of Collingwood Main. The weight of the Wheat was 59 lbs. neat,
per bushel. The Engine is estimated at nine horses' power.

On the 12th day of July, 1811, an experiment, similar to the
above, was performed with Woolris Engine, at V.roolf and Ed-
ward's, w hen upwards of 34 bushels of Wheat were ground into
Flour, with two bushels or 168 pounds of Newcastle Coals. The
Wheat was of the weight of 59ilbs. per bushel. Certified by

London, July 19,1911.
This is to certify, That we, the Subscribers hereto, were pre-
sent on the Premises of Woolf and Edwards, at Mill-street, Lam-
beth, on Friday the 19th day of July, 1811, to witness an expe-
riment made with ;Steam Engine of Arthur Woolf's Patent Con-
struction, to aseirtain how much Wheat could be ground tnte
flour by two pair of French bur stones., of four feet diameter each,
attached to the said Engine, with a given quantity of Coals, and
that the following was the result.. Worked the Engine four hours
and lb minutes, and burnt 3 bushels of NewcastleCouls, weighing
2521b'. During the above time and with the above quantity of fuel,
one pair of the above Stones ground 36 Bushels and 4441b5. and
the other pair 24 Bushels and 2.51b5. making together 61 Bushels
and t 9flis.; and it is cuir opinion, that if the seconcl pair of Stones
bad ham in as good order as the first, there would have been
ground with ,the above fuel at least 73-i Bushels. The Wheat
weight..l.s/0s per bushel.

, • From the above Certificates it appears, that with one of Messrs,
Bolton and. Watt's best Engines of eight horses' power, not quite
Si: bushels of wheat, Winchester measure, can be ground
flour with one bushel or 84 pounds of Newcastle coals; and that
with the siitte quantity of c••als, 'Woolf 's nine horse Engine car
grind from eO to .24 bushels of the same wheat. In other words,
Woolf's Patent Steam Engine of nine horses power can lift from
• 40 to 459 aillions of pounds one foot high, with one bushel o
coat—Engit,es of greater power can lift considerably more wit
the same quantity of fiyel.
Engineers, by applying to the Patentee, Arthur Woolf, No. 2,
Sainlle-place, Lambeth-walk, may be accommodated with Li•
genets to conga-net these Engines on equitable terms.
