• Watt and his contemporaries regarded heat as a material substance called Phlogiston. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• Men began to doubt whether the new engine could ever be made to accomplish what Watt claimed for it, but although he realized the difficulties the inventor would not allow himself to doubt. Rupert S. Holland. Historic Inventions.
• Watt knew that what he wanted was a plan by which the cylinder could always be kept as hot as the steam that went into it. Rupert S. Holland. Historic Inventions.
• Orders began to flow in, and Watt had his hands full in traveling about the country superintending the erection of his steam-engines. Rupert S. Holland. Historic Inventions.
• Sir Leicester is no joke by any means, says Watt, and I humbly ask his pardon. Charles Dickens. Bleak House.
• Boulton was a business genius, and Watt now found that he could leave financial matters entirely to his care, and busy himself solely with his engine. Rupert S. Holland. Historic Inventions.
• Watt had already done much more, for in trying to find how the engine might be made of greater service he had discovered at the outset the principle of the latent heat of steam. Rupert S. Holland. Historic Inventions.
• Watt saw that the alternate heating and cooling of the cylinder made the engine work slowly and caused an excessive consumption of steam. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• In many respects Stephenson was like Watt. Rupert S. Holland. Historic Inventions.
• Watt’s patents of 1769 and 1784 contemplated the application of his steam engines to carriages running on land. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• The meters commonly used measure the amperes, volts, and time automatically, and register the electric power supplied in watt hours. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Papin in 1695, Savary in 1698, and Newcomen in 1705, were the pioneers of Watt, and gave to him a good working basis. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• The Six Ordinary Powers Alone Used until the Time of Watt. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
• Then it happened that in 1764 a small Newcomen engine that belonged to the University of Glasgow was given to James Watt, an instrument-maker at the university, to be repaired. Rupert S. Holland. Historic Inventions.
• If it is equipped with a three-heat switch, it can be adjusted to 600 watts at full, 300 at medium and 150 at low, which means a great saving in current for most small cooking operations. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• Halleck did not know that they had already been delivered into the hands of Major Watts, Confederate commissioner for the exchange of prisoners. Ulysses S. Grant. Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant.
• It might be well to explain that the lamp-socket appliances are those operating from the light socket and are built to carry not over 660 watts of current. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• If that stove is equipped with a single heat, you will be using the full 600 watts whenever the switch is on. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• The lamps were partly of the horseshoe filament paper-carbon type, and partly bamboo-filament lamps, and were of an efficiency of 95 to 100 watts per 16 c. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• Let us suppose that you are operating one of the small disc stoves and that the stove will carry 600 watts of current. Various. The Wonder Book of Knowledge.
• The watt then would be the volt multiplied by the ampere; thus 500 watts would be 10 amperes at 50 volts, or 50 amperes at 10 volts. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• The space that a list of the new chemical products of this age and their description would fill, has already been indicated by reference to the great dictionary of Watts. William Henry Doolittle. Inventions in the Century.
