1790 (): Nathan Read invented the tubular boiler and improved cylinder, devising the high-pressure steam engine. 1791 (): Edward Bull makes a seemingly obvious design change by inverting the steam engine directly above the mine pumps, eliminating the large beam used since Newcomen's designs. About 10 of his engines are built in Cornwall.
The other engine, Engine No 7, is named Bessie after Sir Prescott's wife. [4] The engine house also houses two steam turbine water pumps.
