Malcolm Logan

From Graces Guide

Malcolm Logan was employed by Boulton and Watt to erect engines both in Italy and in Spain.

In 1782 Matthew Boulton refers to him as "a handy, active and industrious fellow"; he seems soon after this to have given way to drink, but to have pulled himself up in time, for in 1788 when it was a question of selecting a man to go to Naples, "I think", writes Boulton, "he is the properest man we have to send to Naples, as he is a handy fellow either in wood or iron, or engine, or mill, or pumps."

Later on, 1795-6, he was at work in Spain.
