Seite 26 - I am not by any means prepared at present to recommend any particular size of wheel or even any great increase of the present dimensions. I believe they will be materially increased, but my great object would be in every possible way to render each part capable of improvement, and to remove what appears...
Seite 3 - ... the art of directing the great sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of man, as the means of production and of traffic in states.
Seite 25 - He states, that though there are some causes which in practice slightly influence the result, yet, practically, the resistance from friction will be diminished exactly in the same ratio that the diameter of the wheels is increased. And " considering that the " gradient of 4 feet per mile only presents a resistance of " less than 2 Ibs. per ton, and that the friction of the car" riages on ordinary railways amounts to 8 or 9 Ibs.
Seite 7 - ... new district, in which railways were unknown. At present, it commands this district, and has already sent forth branches which embrace nearly all that can belong to it, and it will be the fault of the company if it does not effectually and permanently secure to itself the whole trade of this portion of England with that of South Wales and the south of Ireland ; not by a forced monopoly, which could "never long resist the wants of the public, but by such attention to these wants as shall render...

Seite 2 - That the members present at this Meeting desire, on behalf of themselves and others, to record their high appreciation of the services rendered to the Institution by Mr D. M. Watson during his term of office as President.
Seite 7 - Looking to the speeds which I contemplated would be adopted on railways and the masses to be moved, it seemed to me that the whole machine was too small for the work to be done, and that it required that the parts should be on a scale more commensurate with the mass and the velocity to be attained.
Seite 24 - That the best thanks of the Institution be accorded to the President for his Address and that he be asked to permit it to be printed in the Proceedings of the Institution.
Seite 25 - The diminution of friction from this cause will be in the proportion of the diameter of the wheel to that of the...
