and like purunes. But from this eating date until the 17th century, practically no progress was made in the use of steam. Though men hat experimente

James Watt, who secured the position as a man of scientific instruments in the University of Glasgow. prope an idea for going the citing steam
engine, which was used for pumoing mines. For a long time. onling to a lack of money, he had diffiostyin establishing the merits of his movements.
Finally, he formed a partnership with Matthew Bouton a wealthy and energetic man who lived at Birmingham England. They began the manufacture of
steam engines at Birmingham, under the firm name of Boulton and want this partnership was very successful Vilased the inventions Bouton
furnished the money and attended to the business
Before the time of want the steam engine was ersteny a steam gumo-sion and waste of fost Wat made to powerful and efficient engine
requiring only a fourth as much fuel as before. Under his first patent. the engine was still used only as a sean game, but his later improvements adapted
for driving stationary machinery of all kinds. The commercial success of his engine was soon fully established
George Stephenson further modified Button and want company's creation Stecherson initiated the use of steam for carrying pangers and goods. in
September 1825, the first train passed over the road. It consisted of thirty-four cars weighing all told, ninety tons. The train was pulled by Stephensons
engine operated by Stephenson himself with a signalman riding on horseback in advance. The train moved off at the rate of ten or the mides an hour
and on certain parts of the road it reached a speed of fifteen miles per hour. The trial was a complete SUCCESS
Q. Why is the sentence the BEST SUPPORT for the claim that the world is "chiefly
indebted" James and Stephenson for developing the steam engine?
