• curprev 18:4418:44, 17 March 2024 Andrew Macklin talk contribs 58,196 bytes +36 We respectfully note that Watt's unique contribution was the condenser, physically separating the power cylinder from the cooling mechanism. The referenced ODMB entry is paywall-protected, but the current Misplaced Pages entry for Smeaton and his online Encyclopedia Britannica entry suggest he made important but only incremental improvements to the Newcomen engine. So this wording is more accurate.

Lumsden acknowledged Watt 's troubles with the Hammerman, and that Watt partially accommodated them while also forming alliances to counter their opposition. The phrasing proposed here seems more neutral and reflects the later analysis of Dickinson and Jenkins (see pp. 16-17)
