Original Portfolio or 'Book' No. 49. Catalogue of Old Engines p. 6.
For Henry Coates and John Jarratt. Oil mill, Sculcoates, Kingston-upon-Hull, Yorkshire. Often spelt "Cotes" and "Jarrat", and often referred to as "Coates & Jarratt". This engine was formed from one half of the experimental double-cylinder tilt engine set up at Soho. It was also one of the first (the very first?) to feature a perpendicular motion.
