the field of application invention widened when boulton urged watt convert reciprocating motion of piston produce rotational power grinding, weaving , milling. although crank seemed obvious solution conversion watt , boulton stymied patent this, holder, james pickard, , associates proposed cross-license external condenser. watt adamantly opposed , circumvented patent sun , planet gear in 1781.


over next 6 years, made number of other improvements , modifications steam engine. double acting engine, in steam acted alternately on 2 sides of piston one. described methods working steam expansively (i.e., using steam @ pressures above atmospheric). compound engine, connected 2 or more engines described. 2 more patents granted these in 1781 , 1782. numerous other improvements made easier manufacture , installation continually implemented. 1 of these included use of steam indicator produced informative plot of pressure in cylinder against volume, kept trade secret. important invention, 1 watt proud of, parallel motion essential in double-acting engines produced straight line motion required cylinder rod , pump, connected rocking beam, end moves in circular arc. patented in 1784. throttle valve control power of engine, , centrifugal governor, patented in 1788, keep running away important. these improvements taken produced engine 5 times efficient in use of fuel newcomen engine.
