The name is slightly wrong (Thomas Savery) but otherwise correct. His design of steam engine didn't use a piston and was more or less a large tube with its lower end dipped into the water it was being used to pump. The tube was filled with steam which condensed causing a vacuum which sucked water into the tube. His engines couldn't lift water from the deepest mines and also had the nasty habit of blowing up.

Thomas Newcomen invented the first practical piston based engine in 1712 which could pump water from the deepest mines . Over a hundred were installed both here and abroad in his lifetime.

Re: Hangman (Part 3)

You may have to humour me with this one. It’s still hangman but with a twist I was experimenting with. ❓
Instead of picking a letter you pick a number.
I hope all will become clear on completion.

Connection please... Pick a number from 1 to 17 (inc)
