Mr. JOHN KAY, of Rochdale, has also written, under the impression that Mr. Bell was present when he, Mr. Kay, suggested the idea of working small boats by hand-machinery, and larger vessels by steam-engines. Mr. Kay is, however, evidently mistaken, as he states the conversation to which he alludes to have taken place at Liverpool, in 1796 or 1797, and Mr. Symington had actually worked a boat by steam-machinery in 1788. |
