To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ross Winans was not the original inventor of a locomotive having eight driving wheels, as a crude form of such a locomotive had been used on the Wylam Colliery Railway, in England, as early as 1815, although the driving wheels of the Wylam engines were not coupled by connecting or side rods, but were driven by spur gearing. He was, however, the first to design and construct an engine having eight driving wheels, coupled by side rods and secured on axles which always remained parallel and had en...d play in their boxes, or having "blind" or flat tires on the wheels of the intermediate axles. The novel features of Mr. Winans are re- cited in the following extract from the first claim of his Patent No. 3, 201, above mentioned: "I claim as my invention the construction and use of a loco- motive engine, having either six or eight driving wheels, the axles of which are placed parallel to each other, and which are perman- ently to preserve this parallelism during the whole action of the engine, whether running upon straight or curved roads ; the said axles having sufficient end play to allow the wheels, when the whole of them are provided with flanges, to adapt themselves to the curvatures of the road; or instead of this end play of the axles, the constructing of two of the pairs of wheels where eight are used, without flanges, the motive power from the steam engine to be transmitted to the first pair of driving wheels, through the in- termedium of a fifth axle, furnished with spur wheels, which gear into small spur wheels or pinions on the axle of the first pair of driving wheels, and the power from these wheels being trans- mitted to the whole system of driving wheels, by means of cranks on the axles of said wheels and suitable connecting rods, as set forth.
