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.
