Just got back to Scotland and I just took a job at the University of Glasgow to clean and repair scientific instruments. Hope all that learning from my younger years pays off.

# data[].attributes.body
To continue my education, I went to the University of Glasgow to become a mathematical instrument maker. Then I began to work for a man named John Morgan, making accurate quadrants and parallel rulers.

I'm now retired and since then I have been sharing my knowledge and experience with others so that they may find there way in life. # getting to work with the new generation

# data[].attributes.body
I have now handed down my interests in my company to my son, I can't wait to see where he takes it. I love you son! #They grow up so fast

# data[].attributes.body
I'm so proud of this engine that it has even nearly replaced Newcomen's engines. Which were at least fifty years old! #out with the old and in with the new

# data[].attributes.body
Because of my genius thinking which other scientists seem to lack these days!, I have now made mills and factories more productive by not having to rely on location so much. But the only thing they rely on is MY steam engine. So, I'm waiting to see some real competition from my fellow inventors and scientists. # Bring it on

# data[].attributes.body
My improvements have made the steam engine the secret ingredient for the Industrial Revolution and I have already seen some great work become of it. # Industrialize. https://www.egr.msu.edu/~lira/supp/steam/

Glad you guys are still tuned in and this time I've come to talk to you about my crafting of the flywheel which allow the engine to run smoothly, and they make the motion of the machine more adapted for power machinery! So, spread the word of my newest invention. Trust me it's a beauty!!

# data[].attributes.body
In addition my recent inventions, I have constructed a state of the art condenser that has a new, advanced layout of tubes rather than the old single chamber. Another creation of mine is the latest air pump to maintain the vacuum. Stay tuned for my next update. Wish me luck in my research!

# data[].attributes.body
My patent has been issued and my updates include sealing the engine's cylinder and the placement of steam valves on either side that will keep the steam chamber constantly hot. This will also improve the cycle of the large pump to a back and forth motion.

# data[].attributes.body
I noticed that Newcomen's engine has been used for decades, but it has so many weaknesses that I have seen and been improving on. Newcomen's engine wastes time by cooling the piston chamber during every cycle. But I'm constantly making changes that will make my engine that best out their. I have issued patents and so the challenge begins.

In my early teens I began to go to school to study Latin, Greek, and Mathematics. But while at home I always loved experimenting with chemicals and creating little machines and tools. I remember being fifteen and creating my first electric motor # flashbacks and memories

# data[].attributes.body
Besides my recent interest in instrument making, I have seen that my father came from humble beginnings and that he worked hard as a carpenter, government administrator, and merchant. So I think there should be more Father's Day appreciation because without him working long hours I wouldn't have the opportunities that I now have. # Thank your dad

Improving the motion of my piston with new mechanical attachments. Can't wait to see the new outcome!!

Just went into a partnership with Matthew Boulton, I know it will be a lot of fun! # new best friend

# data[].attributes.body
My partnership with John Roebuck to manufacture the steam engine failed. But I'm looking forward to a new partnership with Matthew Boulton. Hope this one works out!

# data[].attributes.body
Hoping to manufacture my invention into a better steam engine #success

# data[].attributes.body
Just invented a condenser and vacuum pump to remove air. Putting cylinder in steam filled jacket. #Got to keep it from cooling # hope this works

# data[].attributes.body
Such a waste of time! Trying to always reheat this cylinder. #Back to the drawing board

# data[].attributes.body
I have made the steam engine recognizable for its outstanding work it does, like to power water pumps so that coals mines won't flood. This new engine of mine has many uses! It's also economical because coals prices are very low, so I encourage all industries to use my engine to ease the pain of hard labor.

# data[].attributes.body
Spent quite awhile repairing the Newcomen steam engine. Even made some improvements! #bright future

# data[].attributes.body
Shoutout to my comrades at University of Glasgow for making it happen. Thanks! #official instrument maker

Got turned down for a membership in the Hammermen's (toolmakers') Guild # keep persisting

Interested in instrument making #future inventor
