Northern Mine Research Society is experimenting with a series of online lectures this autumn/winter. The first of these will take place on Tuesday 7th October at 7pm. This initial lecture will be given by Steve Grudgings on ‘From Calley to Curr: the development of the Newocmen Engine in the eighteenth century’.
Join Steve to hear how the Newcomen engine developed from a bespoke, artisan-built, item to a “commodity” product built from standardised components. Steve will highlight the key challenges early engine builders had to overcome and how their endeavours contributed to the recognition of the engineering profession.
Non-members are very welcome. For joining instructions contact NMRS President Len Morris at: lmorris768@btinternet.com
