that the now historic accident took

You see, the story begins with q
kind Of makeshift. Somewhere around
the year 1900 two Of the French gov

correctly informed by my French rail
road friend, their story is something
as follows:
Up to the arrival of the four-cylinder
American compound machines, the per
sistent French idea had always been
enormous driving wheels. The Ameri-
can machines were found to turn
smaller wheels with enormous quick
ness, yes; but the constructor of the
.'Chocolate' still regretted the force
lost in the greater levers. On the
other hand, enormous wheels had al
ways meant high-perched machine,
threatening to lack stability. Sticking
to the compound principle, therefore,
the constructor of the Chocolate
found means to put gigantic driving
