gauge was at its height. The Great
Western on the broad gauge had beaten
all records by upon several occasions
obtaining a maximum speed of seventy
eight miles an hour, and it was neces-
sary to beat her on the narrow gauge.
The result was the building by
L. Treyithick, superintendent of
the northern division of the London
and Northwestern railway. of the
Cornwall Her driving wheel was
made inches larger than that Of the
Great Western, which was s feet
in diameter. Mr.. Trevithick, in order to
obtain larger driving wheel and
low center of gravity, adopted the
peculiar plan of placing the boiler
under the driving axle. The driving
wheel of ) feet inches was the
largest size which had then, or has
since, been tried upon the ordinary
feet 81 inch gauge, the cylinder
being l7l9 inches diameter and ?
inches stroke. The engine appears to
have fully answered the expectations

tanned under favorable circumstances,
thus beating the Great Western
by one mile an hour. She was shown
at the exhibition of 1851 but the posi-
ton of her boiler was not approved

above the axle. We give sketch
