Notebook describing a visit to the Soho Works, 1800 [typed transcript].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122333727

The record is a typed transcript of a small notebook containing Cope's account of a trip in 1800 to inspect the Soho Works of Nicholas J. Roosevelt, which was engaged in manufacturing the steam engine to be used in the Philadelphia Waterworks designed by Latrobe. The purpose of the visit was to check on Roosevelt's progress and pressure him into completing his contract more quickly. Cope generally believed that Latrobe and Roosevelt aimed to bilk the city through unnecessary changes, experiments and delays.
