Boulton and Watt form their partnership

node

Matthew Boulton of the Soho Manufactory in Birmingham took a share in Watt's patent, supplying capital, skilled metalworkers and the parliamentary influence that secured the extension of the patent to 1800. The firm sold licences rather than machines, charging a premium set at a share of the coal its engines saved against a Newcomen engine of equal duty.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
