In a letter discussing the disposal of material on a mine at Bere
Ferrers, co. Devon in the UK, including a Boulton and Watt steam
engine, in November 1795, Richard Crawshay gives the following instructions -
"the triangles must not be sold till the engine and pipes are taken
away or removed onto Birch where I learn it should have been fix'd originally."
But what is meant by the term 'triangles'?
