This biography discusses the life of George Stephenson. He improved on the earlier steam-powered locomotive designs by using flanged-wheel adhesion on his locomotive, the Bl?cher. He also built the Locomotion, the train of choice on the Stockton and Darlington Railway. That railway was the first public steam railway in the world and had considerable influence on the wide-spread use of trains. His train Rocket won the Rainhill Trials, a competition for locomotions of the time. He continued to make larger, better-running trains throughout his life.

This vintage book contains Samuel Smiles Jr.'s 1857 biography, “The Life of George Stephenson”. George Stephenson (1781–1848) was an English engineer who is responsible for building the world's first inter-city railway line to use steam locomotives, the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. This fascinating and insightful biography is highly recommended for those with an interest in locomotive history, and it would make for a worthy addition to any collection. Samuel Smiles (1812–1904) was a Scottish author. Other notable works by this author include: “Self-Help” (1859), “Character” (1871), and “Thrift” (1875). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.

Mr. Sandars and Mr. Villiam Rathbone, on the other hand, desired that a fair trial should be given to the locomotive; and they with reason objected to the expenditure of the large capital necessary to construct the proposed engine-houses, with their fixed engines, ropes, and machinery, until they had tested the powers of the locomotive. as recommended by their own engineer. Mr. Stephenson continued to urge upon them that the locomotive was yet capable of great improvements, if proper inducements were held out to inventors and machinists to make them; and he pledged himself that, if time Mer-its Q/' Locomotive and Fixed Engines," published by himself and Mr. Locke (as compiled from the Reports of Mr. George Stephenson) in reply to the Report of Mr. James Walker, C. E. The pamphlet was published in February, 1830. Mr. Robert Stephenson there observes: -" In locomotive engines hitherto constructed, the area of the surface in the boiler acted upon by the fire is much less than that generally employed in stationary engines; and hence it is that the consumption has been much greater to produce equal effects. This inconvenience has been submitted to, in order that simplicity and compactness might be achieved. " To compensate for the loss of heating surface, it was necessary to augment the temperature of the fire. This was effected, shortly after the first locomotive engine was tried on the Killingworth Colliery Railway, by conveying the steam into the chimney, where it escaped in a perpendicular direction up the centre, after it had performed its ofiice in the cylinders. 'l'he velocity of the steam on entering the chimney being much greater than that due to the ascending current of air from the natural draught of...
