		Sir Daniel was the grandson of the other more illustrious Sir Daniel Gooch 1816-1889, the great railway engineer of some considerable genius who designed over 60 different classes of steam locomotives, and was responsible for laying the first ever Trans-Atlantic telegraph cable.
		Gooch’s qualifications for the job was that he was an expert breeder of Greyhounds and for years had followed the hunt.
		Gooch himself was in ill health and in 1923 underwent surgery to amputate one of his legs.

	SwindonWeb - Guide to Swindon - Swindon People - Sir Daniel Gooch
		Gooch was proud to be called 'the father of Swindon works' and by the same token he was also the father of New Swindon.
		On the engineering side, Gooch showed that he had learned much from his experiences as a young man. Born in 1816 at Bedlington, Northumberland, his first taste of industry had been in ironworks, but his association with railways began when he worked under the great Robert Stephenson, who was a friend of the family.
		Gooch's name is often tarnished by his association with the broad gauge, though hindsight seems to support Brunel and Gooch's convictions.

		At this time the Great Eastern was in the hands of the bondholders, of whom he himself was one of the most important, and it occurred to him that she might advantageously be utilized in the enterprise.
		Accordingly, at his instance she was chartered by the Telegraph Construction Company, of which also he was a director, and in 1865 was employed in the attempt to lay a cable, Gooch himself superintending operations.
		Meanwhile the Great Western railway had fallen on evil days, being indeed on the verge of bankruptcy, when in I866 the directors appealed to him to accept, the chairmanship of the board and undertake the rehabilitation of the company.

	The Great Western Railway Broad Gauge - A Brief History
		Daniel Gooch proved to be a first-class locomotive engineer and it was largely through his efforts that the best of the 'freaks' were kept in working order enough to run trains during the railway's first difficult year.
		Following modifications by Gooch and Brunel, which included increasing the size of the blast pipe and ensuring that the exhaust steam was discharged up the middle of the chimney, she proved capable of pulling 40tons at 40mph and using less than a third of the quantity of coke at that.
		Gooch was a stickler for high standards of workmanship and it was his disappointment with the workmanship emanating from some of the manufacturers, coupled with his desire for standardisation within locomotive classes, that lead him to construct at Swindon one of the first railway-owned locomotive works in the country.

	History of the Atlantic Cable & Submarine Telegraphy - Daniel Gooch
		In the summer of 1865, seven years after the failure of the 1858 cable, another attempt was made to lay a submarine cable between Ireland and Newfoundland.
		Sir Daniel Gooch, Brunel’s friend and colleague, who had bought the Great Eastern at a bankruptcy sale and had taken $250,000 in cable stock in exchange for use of the ship, was on board when the accident happened.
		This is a most important letter - all the histories of the cable quote Gooch's description of the loss of the cable, and the event is described in detail in Gooch's diaries and memoirs.

		Officer Gooch observed that the woman and the stopped vehicle were impeding traffic and creating a traffic hazard so he "yelled for her to get out of the street and the truck to move."

		In a letter sent in November 1847 to the Directors of the Company, Gooch suggested that the firm’s employees would be willing to pay a rate out of their wages towards the cost of securing the attendance of a surgeon at all accidents and other instances of disease and infection they might incur.
		There were a variety of reasons for Gooch’s letter, with a fair share of altruism and commercial self-interest thrown in.
		In his letter, Gooch informed the directors that the majority of these employees planned to remain in the city in the hope that they might soon be re-employed.

		As Gooch points out in his letter, the normal procedure was for the company to pay the doctor’s fees if an accident happened at work.
		His family, probably facing destitution with the loss of their breadwinner, would perhaps be unwilling to fork out for a hefty bill.
		Convinced by Gooch’s case, the Directors agreed and the Medical Fund came into being in December of 1847.

		This class of locomotives was built by Daniel Gooch (Later as chief engineer on Brunel's Great Eastern iron steamship, laid the first transatlantic cable).
		Gooch was appointed CME to the London-Bath railway at the early age of 21 by Brunel who had realised that while he (Brunel) was a great maritime and civil engineer, he could not design steam locomotives!
		I was told that this was one of the last 6 operational steam sternwheelers.
