We give working drawings of a high-pressurebeam engine — condensing apparatus and pumpsomitted—(see Fig. 49 and Sheet No. 3). This isundoubtedly the oldest style of engine in existence,Newcomen having constructed an atmospheric beamengine for pumping purposes as early as the year1712. This engine, in the hands of Watt, under-went great improvements, and was made double- 158 MODEL ENGINE CONSTRUCTION. acting by him in 1784 : this style is similar tothose constructed at the pres
