Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Steam Road Wagons In designing these vehicles, not only is it absolutely necessary that the strains should be properly distributed, combining the lightest possible construction with the greatest strength, but that simplicity - inasmuch as we are dealing with a commercial article - must be ever kept in View. The two most difficult problems which have been encountered are, undoubtedly, to design a fitting boiler and proper road wheels.

Excerpt: ...of the general design is shown in Fig. 47. The high-pressure cylinder bore has been increased i in., making it 4 in., and the low-pressure also increased A in., making it 6 in. bore. The same length of stroke, viz. 6 in., is retained. The ratios of gearing between the engine and road wheels are 19'4 and 11 to 1, giving speeds of 2 9 and 5-1 miles per hour with engine running at its normal speed of 450 revolutions per minute. Fig. 48 shows a plan of the engine and gearing. The valves are of the flat balanced pattern working on renewable faces. Unlike the smaller wagon before described, the second-motion shaft gearing runs loosely when the combined sliding clutch and pinion is out of gear with the spur wheel. The second-motion shaft is in reality a fixed steel tube with the clutch operating rod working in the hollow. The compensating shaft is clearly shown in Fig. 49. It will be noticed that the main bearings are non-adjustable. The third axle consists of a "Mannesman " tube with practically solid ends. The rear axle has bearings 11 in. long and 3 i in. in diameter, the diameter of the axle beyond the bearings being 4 in. The boiler, brakes, and steering gear are the same design as on the smaller wagon. The driving wheels are 3 ft. 6 in. diameter by 10 in. face, and the steering wheels are 3 ft. diameter by 6 in. face.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of how for more than a hundred years steam power played a vital role in the development of road transport. It all began with tentative attempts to build steam carriages by pioneers such as Cugnot in France and Trevithick in Britain, and in the early part of the nineteenth century there were significant attempts to develop steam carriages and omnibuses. That these attempts ultimately failed was largely due to opposition by road authorities and draconian legislation. Steam power did, however, find a real purpose in agriculture, where the traction engine was used for a variety of tasks from towing and working threshing machines, to ploughing. Once the value of the traction engine had been established, it soon found a use in many parts of the world for heavy haulage work and appeared in an exotic guise as the showman's engine. The latter was not only used to haul rides to fairgrounds but also powered a dynamo that could light up the fair at night. By the end of the nineteenth century, steam on the road took on a new life with the development of steam cars and trucks. For a time they vied the new internal combustion engine for supremacy on the road. The American Doble Company even developed a 100mph steam sports car. Ultimately steam lost the war, but steam vehicles survive and delight us still thanks to enthusiastic owners and restorers.
