Remarkable steam engine improvement by Carre Ricut
A new steam engine design by Rev. Mr. Carre Ricut of Marysle Bonne Fields condenses steam in a separate vessel, returns it to the boiler, and yields a strong vacuum. The engine, compact enough for a room corner, uses little fuel and costs modestly, with potential constant power beyond a man’s reach. Additional items report on the French General's national scientific institution, standards for weights and measures, and a curious Edinburgh market kitten with eight legs and two female reproductive organs.
