Gil:
Watt was an engineer who improved on the steam engine.  He was not a ploof 
reeder.
A reeder is one who thatchers, with reeds, the old roofs.  Or is one who 
fits musical instruments with a reed or two reeds.
A ploof is an ancient wind instrument with one reed, actuated by a bellows 
that is moved by plops, ploops etc.
The method of reeding was held so obscure the Watt would never known how to 
reed a ploof.
