 Chapter 8
Boulton was not exaggerating when he claimed that the efficiency of the steam-engine had been increased fourfold since Watt took out his patent.
Even Boulton, who was quicker to grasp the significance of the movements of commerce, so far underestimated the coming demand for steamengines, that he imagined that the factory at Soho would be equal to satisfying, for many years to come, the needs of the whole world.
But Boulton was fully alive to the importance of getting a rotary engine put on the market as soon as possible, even if its use were to be confined to mills that were already employing water-power to drive their machinery, and he persuaded Watt to concentrate his attention on this problem.
