Thanks to everyone who has posted.
I recently came across a reference in Allen J.S & Rolt L.T.C (1997), The Steam Engine of Thomas Newcomen, Landmark Publishing p 109 to a list of Newcomen engines in Cornwall and their particulars compiled by John Smeaton in 1769. In spite of hunting the interweb I have failed to find a copy - can anyone help?
