The Indicator is one of vvatt's inventions, upon which he was accustomed to place great reliance; and it may not, perhaps, be too much to say, that, in his hands, it contrib uted mainly to his successive improvements of the Steam engine. After his patent had expired, and the Engine had become public property, the various makers, it seems, did not at first sufficiently value this useful instrument; for we find Farey, in his work on Steam, complaining that Steam-engines had rather retrograded from neglecting it. However that maybe, such is not the case now; for every engine maker is careful to apply it, as the best means of testing the working condition of his engine; yet even now there are many classes of people connected with the Steam engine, such as officers commanding steam-vessels and eu gineers, to whom a fuller description of the instrument.
