Having clearly ascertained the disadvantage of applying the power directly to the crank, as before described, the writer next placed the engines quite behind, and at the same time altered the form of the carriage, so as to make it more nearly resemble an ordinary horse carriage. These new arrangements are represented in Plate vi. Much thought and labour were spent upon them, and many alterations suggested and tried from time to time. But the difficulty of keeping the machinery clean, owing to its proximity to the fire-place, as well as to the road, was found in practice to be so strong an objection, that this form of carriage had also to be abandoned. With this carriage, however, defective as it was, one point of the greatest importance in common road steam travelling was most satisfactorily determined. The possibility of a steam carriage ascending steep hills had been doubted and questioned by many; and to remove, if possible, all scepticism on the subject, the writer fixed a day for taking his carriage up Pentonville-hill, which has a rise of 1 in 18 to 20, and invited a numerous party to witness the experiment. A severe frost succeeding a shower of sleet, had completely glazed the road, so that horses could scarcely keep their footing. The trial was made, therefore, under the most unfavourable circumstances possible; so much so, that, confident as the writer felt in the powers of his engine, his heart inclined to fail him. The carriage, however, did its duty nobly. Without the aid of propellers, or any other such appendage, (then generally thought necessary even on a level road, ) the hill was ascended at considerable speed, and its summit successfully attained, while his competitors with their horses were yet but a little way from the..
