Newsletter 163 Spring 2014 NEWSLETTER 163 SPRING 2014 Reg. Charity 1 The first Trevithick Day in Wales No. 246586 CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS Punching below our weight Our HLF funded digitisation project is now well under way and, as we write, the finer points of our lease for the former Holman Bros. building in Trevu Road, Camborne are being negotiated. These are both progressive steps that will improve this Society’s public persona. During recent months this Society has developed an active relationship with the Cornish Mining World Heritage Office, Camborne School of Mines, the Institute of Cornish Studies and Kresen Kernow, the new record office to be built in Redruth. It has also been developing its links to the Heritage Lottery Fund, Cornish educational bodies and external organisations such as Trevithick 2014, which recently celebrated the first Trevithick Day in South Wales. The Society has led a respectable life for some 79 years and has tended to hide its good deeds and achievements under the proverbial bushel. The eventual acquisition of a home and the development of relationships with the above and other bodies will provide this Society with the potential to undertake an improved service for Cornwall’s industrial heritage. It will also enable it to develop its public face and associate more with those people who are concerned how Cornwall’s industrial past achievements are represented. At the moment the Society is punching below its potential weight and it is up to its members to see how it might improve in the future. Finally I would like to make a plea for new Council members to ensure the Society can continue moving ahead. In particular the posts of Treasurer, Curator and Programme Secretary need filling, however, Council members ‘without portfolio’ are welcome to join. Philip M Hosken EDITORIAL There is nothing to report regarding the Puffing Devil, other than the crew will assemble in the coming weeks to undertake maintenance, steam it for its annual boiler test and spruce it up in readiness for its first outing on the streets of Camborne during Trevithick Day.

Project Manager [email protected] TREVITHICK’S OTHER ENGINES While there is a great deal of space devoted to Trevithick’s high pressure steam engines, little is heard of his water, or hydraulic, engines. In these he successfully developed the work of various predecessors such as Fludd, Belidor and Hoell. In these single acting engines the gravitational fall of water is employed to drive a piston in a cylinder rather than turn a waterwheel. Trevithick’s first such engine is believed to have been installed at Roskear at the end of the 18th century and was followed by one at Wheal Druid. The engines require a considerable head of water and that is seldom available in Cornwall. However, when Trevithick Trevithick’s water engine which is now received an enquiry from Derbyshire he preserved at the Peak District Mining knew that a successful engine could be Museum at Matlock Bath in Derbyshire.

  • Camborne School of Mines: Mining Experience
    Camborne School of Mines: Mining Experience http://emps.exeter.ac.uk/csm/ Trip synopsis In the 18th and early 19th century Cornwall was the leading tin mining area in the world. During this time Cornwall built up a world-wide reputation for mining engineering, technology and the physical sciences. This legacy remains today. The Camborne School of Mines, based at the Tremough Campus, part of the University of Exeter has been and remains one of the leading centres in the world for undergraduate and graduate training and research in all aspects of the mining industry. It is a centre par excellence. Students opting for this visit will visit the Camborne School of Mines test and training mine. They will be given a detailed presentation on aspects of mining technology and science and an overview of local geological condition. Students will be given a tour of the mine, will be able to see many geological aspects, will experience drilling operations at first hand and will witness an underground test explosion. This will be a rare opportunity to experience something quite special! (Be assured that student’s health and safety is fully taken into consideration.) After this visit students will be taken to the Tremough Campus of the University of Exeter to visit the Camborne School of Mines laboratories to undertake a number of exciting and interesting scientific activities and use the state of the art scientific equipment, including world beating electron microscopes. Here students will also be given presentations on issues facing the mining industry including, exploration in difficult and remote areas, making maximum use of existing reserves, the social, economic, environmental and political issues surrounding mining and new advances and frontiers in the industry, rare earths etc.

  • Newsletter 164 Summer 2014
    NEWSLETTER 164 SUMMER 2014 Known to the Trevithick Society as the Gawns wheel, it was re-christened the Lady Evelyn in 2006 once it had been restored to its original site at Laxey on the Isle of Man. Reg. Charity 1 No. 246586 CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS Horse and cart Elsewhere in this newsletter there are details of our Facebook social media page. A recent survey in a Society meeting at King Edward Mine revealed that only four members out of the twenty four present had any connection with Facebook. I know the understanding of its technology doesn’t come easily to those of us who are elderly folk but this has happened in every generation. I well remember the fear some people had that the television set in the corner of the room was spying on them and there were those who rejected the motor car in favour of the horse and cart. I agree that both those innovations were expensive and that may have been the real reason for avoiding them. However, Facebook is free and it’s the way we communicate with future members. In a few years most members of this Society will be able to skateboard, I wonder what technology they will be avoiding. The recent AGM Weekend in North Cornwall was a very pleasant success in spite of the weather. It was clear that those present enjoyed themselves, renewed friendships and took the opportunity to celebrate their membership of the Society, its existence and achievements. Our thanks are due to those who organised the events and prepared the illustrated notes.
