 | | The engraving on the preceding page presents an external view of this engine, and its tender, on the same scale as "The Rocket," namely, a quarter of an inch to a foot. |
 | | Among the most valuable of the subordinate improvements may be ranked a mode of steering the front wheels, by means of a spur and an endless chain, instead of a wheel and a pinion, as in the original machine, and a provision for obtaining at will an increase of power in ascending hills. |
