Patent Specification Accepted
- When
- 5 January 1769
- Where
- British patent process
The specification of Patent No. 913 for the separate condenser was accepted on 5 January 1769.
Watt's patent No. 913, "A method of lessening the consumption of steam in steam engines" – the separate condenser – had its specification accepted on 5 January 1769. This date corresponds to the January entry in the legacy record, which is a specification acceptance rather than an erroneous patent grant date.
