There was time. less than two
centuries ago. when the muscles of
men and animals provided almost
all the power" used in making
things. There were windmillS to
pump water and water wheels to
grind grain. but shoes. clothes and
100 other common things were made
by hand.
The invention of the steam engine
opened a new day in the work of
the world. Thomas Newcomer. an
English blacksmith invented a steam
engine in 1705. 1t was used to pump
water out of mines, but was not
placed in factories.
Sixty years later, a young Scots
man named James Watt worked to
improve Newcomers steam engine.
After long effort, he produced an
engine which was fit for use in fac
tories
Watts steam engine slowly but
surely, came into widespread use 1t
brought about great changes in the
life OF the world.
In the past century and half
the steam engine has been improved
In many ways. 1t has been made to
turn the wheels of locomotives as
well as factories, and it drives ocean
liners.
