To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It also gave me the power expended in moving the engines. I made a great number of experiments over a level piece of line on the Bristol and Exeter line, at various rates of speed and loads. They gave me results very different from those obtained by the narrow gauge, which, however, were done more by calculation than by actual experiment. I read a paper at the Institu- tion of Civil Engineers on these experiments in April 1848, and a good deal of discussion took place on them for a couple of ni...ghts. I still keep the original records of these experiments. They cost me a vast amount of labour, both in calculations and in making the experiments. It was rather a difficult task to sit Digitized by Google THE BROAD-GAUGE ENGINES. 65 on the buffer beam of the engine, and take indicator cards at speeds of 60 miles per hour.
Mr. Stephenson endeavoured to show before the Board of Trade that it would be dangerous to have a mixed gauge, that is, three lines of rails, and pro- duced some plans to show the number of points and crossings.
