A J. W. Watt & Co patent brass and mahogany copying apparatus, English, late 18th century,the diametric-linear cut brass rollers on shaped fixed supports, T-bar removable crank for upper roller drive, damping tray with tin-covered tank and lid panel, twin horse-hair filled and felt lined handles flanking the oval maker's inset plaque, small paper folio beneath containing the blotting paper layout for copying, further fitted compartments for glass well, the second half with fold-over writing slope with locking clasp entry, fold-over rest in brass and quill trap behind, in hinged mahogany case with wrapped campaign brass corners and recessed heart handles, 17½in (44.5cm) wide Footnotes:This copying machine design was the result of famous engineer James Watt tirelessly copying by hand key correspondence between himself and that of his business partner, Matthew Boulton. Boulton & Watt being the business name, they were historically responsible for the design and installation of the larger fixed steam engines in mills, mines and factories.After many attempts in the early 1780s, Watt worked with a damp tissue idea for ink-bleed to run from the original surface to another. In W. B. Proudfoot's book The Origin of Stencil Duplicating, (p. 21), the full descriptive operation process is:...in the process used on James Watt's copying machine the letter-to-be-copied was written with a special copying ink on a sheet of good quality paper and placed, when dry, in contact with a water-dampened tissue-paper. The two were held together for a few minutes in some form of mangle or screw press. The writing which offset on to the tissue gave an impression in reverse, but as the tissue was very thin it was simple to read the writing from the other side where it appeared the correct way round... The writing was dried without blotting or application of heat, and contact with the dampened tissue was best made within twenty-four hours of writing the original. A full prescription or recipe for the ink is described in the patent. The process depended on the nature, quality and freshness of the ink, on the essential thinness of the paper tissue, and on the papermaker's ability to make it tough and durable when wet...
