Abstract
2019 is a big year in engineering and industrial heritage. It marks two major anniversaries associated with one of Scotland’s most well-known inventors: James Watt. It is 250 years since he patented the separate condenser that vastly improved the efficiency of steam engines and it is 200 years since he died, on 25 August 1819, aged 83.
