1791 Designed the Low Moor Co's first blowing engine, made by 'Emmets Founderers' of Birkenshaw, near Bradford. This still existed (out of use) at the works in 1906. It was an atmospheric engine, with a 5 ft dia cylinder. The air cylinder was 8 ft 5 in bore. The original air receiver was made of cemented stone slabs, but vibration from the forge hammers led to its substitution by a wrought iron vessel[1]. Emmets were presumably Emmet, Holden and Bolland.
1818 April. Died. At Haliwell, near Bolton, age 66, Edward Smalley, engineer.[2]
