In 1784 James Watt a Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer patented a design for a steam locomotive Watt had improved the steam engine of Thomas Newcomen hitherto used to pump water out of mines and developed a reciprocating engine in 1769 capable of powering a wheel This was a large stationary engine powering cotton mills and a variety of machinery; the state of boiler technology necessitated the use of low pressure steam acting upon a vacuum in the cylinder which required a separate condenser and an air pump Nevertheless as the construction of boilers improved Watt investigated the use of high-pressure steam acting directly upon a piston raising the possibility of a smaller engine that might be used to power a vehicle Following his patent Watt's employee William Murdoch produced a working model of a self-propelled steam carriage in that year, Hammond Drive Atlanta was previously home to the Atlanta Silverbacks of the North American Soccer League and the Atlanta Silverbacks Women in the W-League in 2007 the men's Silverbacks had their best season advancing to the USL Finals against the Seattle Sounders the women's Silverbacks won the league title in 2011 Both teams briefly ceased operations after the 2015 season the men's team due to lack of ownership in the NASL and the women's team because the W-League ceased operations New ownership came to the rescue prior to the 2016 seasons as both have resurfaced in the NPSL and WPSL respectively.
