of the Great Western Railway to adopt the Broad Gauge, assuring
them that this railway would have " no connexion with any other
annually different
at pro-
perties, of the main lines;" and how, in 1845, he attempted to force a con-
nexion between it and the main lines, at Wolverhampton, Rugby,
Dorchester, &c.--How Mr. Brunch stated that carriages and trucks

present time.—How Mr. Brunel, in 1839, adopted the Broad Gauge,
for the express reason that the railway would be nearly level, and
have very slight curves ; and how, in after years, he applied the
Broad Gauge to Railways having the steepest gradients and the
sharpest curves.—How Mr. Brunel said, in 1839, that " lie never re-
commended the Broad Gauge for the purpose of having larger en-
gines ;" and how, in 1845, it was his boast that he was building en
gives
• wider and larger. How Mr. Brunel selected the Broad
Gauge because he could place the bodies of the carriages within the
wheels, and how he has always brought them outside the wheels.—
How Mr: Brunel advocates the atmospheric system, which in all
essential points is the exact converse of the Broad
in
Gauge System.
