[edit] Cleanup
Currently this article contains far too much material which is duplicated on the page about the engine. Suggest most of this is removed and this page focuses more on biographical details of Newcomen.

- I have tried to edit the article as requested. As you say, the material on the engine page was essentially the same. Peterkingiron 08:53, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

The material from the internet placed here by Dr. Gabriel Gojon can now be found via the link /Material from Wikipedia user Dr. Gabriel Gojon.

[edit] Birthdate?
When was he born? Month,Day,Year?
I take it that the use of 'baptised' where his date of birth should be means that the exact date is unknown. Simple. Ben davison 19:06, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Expiry of patent
I stated that Thomas Savery's patent did not expire until 1733. This is correct, becasue Savery obtained a statute extending the life of the patent (as James Watt later did with his. If you have reason to dispute my statement, please explain why HERE. Peterkingiron 00:29, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
