Watt and Boulton built steam pumps to drain mines. You must be thinking of
someone else. If you knew them as you claim, it's amazing at your age you

James Watts was Ronald Reagan's Secretary of the Interior.

Nope - you were right the first time. It was James Watt (specifically
James G. Watt). But the rest sounds about right.
