12 St. 52 Min, 1 Jan 1775 Jahr - Watt modifies Newcomen’s design to have a cylinder sealed at both ends. This replaces the work of the atmosphere with the power of steam. He also added steam both below and above the piston, making a double acting engine, which does double the work. This engine was in high demand from the textile industry.
