I have now found a table in the appendices which I had missed. The
details are in another message. The Derbyshire furnace is not there but
there are 3 others with source references. The problem, of course, is that
we have no idea what the water was for. Schubert thought it was for the
bellows. I have another reference for the Taccola drawing. If anyone wants
to see it I can put it on a web site for them to look at. There is no doubt
what it is. If anyone doesn't
have access to Schubert and wants the references I will send them.
