The practicability of running steam-carriages upon common
roads with a degree of rapidity far beyond the utmost speed of
horses in draught, and at from one half to a third less cost, has
long since been proved by the Report of a Committee of the House
°r Commons, after a most minute and searching inquiry. This
°Pinion has since been confirmed by some of our most talented
engineers, amongst whose names will be found that of the late Mr.
Telford. Those who are acquainted with the history of the steam-
engine, from its earliest infancy down to the period when Messrs.
13olton and Watt effected their invaluable improvements, those
-who in later times have seen the obstacles which impeded steam
navigation, and are acquainted with the degree of perfection to
Which it has now been brought, will not readily fall into the error
of concluding that because the attempts to run steam-carriages
Pcni common roads have hitherto been unsuccessful, that that
object is unattainable.
Mechanical men have long agreed that the paramount means of
ensuring success was the constructing a boiler having such a dispo-
sition of its parts as would rapidly produce the most dense steam,
combined with such strength
as permanently to resist the utmost
neterrial pressure, and all possible external collision, whilst the ma-
chinery should be so arranged as that the concussions and agita-
tions of the common roads should not operate upon it prejudicially.
Sir James C. Anderson, Bart., after many years of study and
Persevering application, has succeeded in perfecting a boiler pos-
la these invaluable properties ; and has also devised a simple
oid effective arrangement of the machinery for applying its power
r.° the propulsion of carriages.
t• keeling confident that the difficulties which prevented the adop-
nill of this most important improvement in our internal communi-
c_ation have at length been overcome, the Directors of the Steam
Carriage Company have made arrangements by which the Com-
Pany will pos:,ess the exclusive right of using Sir James C. Ander-
rm's Patent Steam Carriage upon common roads, as also the boiler
for all locomotive purposes in England.
A earriage is nearly completed, and will be speedily submitted to
such proof as the Directors may require, and will be *kept in repair
for twelve months free of expense to the Company.
The boilers of all the carriages will be maintained in good repair
for the first twelve months at the sole coat of the Patentees, who
seek no payment or remuneration until the first carriage shall' have
been proved to the full satisfaction of the Directors. The Patentees
will keep in repair, at a certain mileage, any number of carriages
which may be required by the Company ; thus determining the
'Mount of expenditure, and reducing the profits to a certainty.
:No capital need be sunk beyond the cost of each steam-drag and
carriage„ as they may he required ; and as each gets into work, an
irnmediate return will be made upon the capital invested.
4 As a profitable investment for capital there is not the slightest
that, Alas been brought before the public for many years.
tai9 far as regards the probability of this mode of conveyance ob-
folno'n the patronage of the public, it should be observed that the
T'hving causes will operate to bring it into use.
111%4e preference now given to canals and waggons for the trans-
. onf
goods shows the appreciation by the commercial world of
~;(r) ess in comparison with speed, but by this mode of conveyance
'"apness and speed will be united.
4, Tuas.sengers or goods destined for the towns established oil the
caerr):ke roads will derive considerable advantage from the steam-
roads gle.. s. Passing through them, thereby, so far as regards those
satin which come in competition with lines of railways, compen-
sating
fr the difference of speed by avoiding the inconvenience of
s rom the stations on the railways to the places of destination.
It i
,r.
o,Very probable that railways will be limited to a certain num-
a Profitable
kttagbrand lines, the vast cost of laying down railroads rendering.
le return doubtful except in eases where the traffic is very
greet.
linBe;:PPodsing that railroads should be laid down upon all the main
will
be an found to answer the object intended, the steam-carriages
invaluable adjuncts, as supplying the place of railroads from
tlae place
see ' s lying between the railwayi, thus forming tributary streams
parsonsgers and goods to the grand lines.
mt." gers and goods can be conveyed by these carriages at double
time:vreeraagseespeed of horses, and at half the expense, and at the same
Decrees a very large profit to the Company.
Inca only
me of expense will, therefore, it may be fairly presumed,
Local
