1. Story
2. Thomas Newcomen's atmospheric engine was erected at a coal working in the West Midlands and used to lift water from the workings. The traditional site is Dudley Castle; more recent research argues for the Coneygre coal works at Tipton, and the question is not settled. The engine's thermal efficiency was under one per cent, which was irrelevant at a pithead where the fuel was underfoot.
