Book Description
Excerpt from An Exposition of the Danger and Deficiencies of the Present Mode of Railway Construction: With Suggestion for Its Improvement I shall proceed to point out the dangers attending the present system of railway construction, beginning at the foundation of the superstructure, the Rails; and will, at the same time, show how I conceive those dangers may be best avoided, and perfect security given to the carriage moving on the railway. The wheels, rails, and carriages are only parts of one great machine, on the proper adjustment of which, one to the other, entirely depends the perfect action of the whole. And as the velocity given to the moving parts increases, so does the necessity for perfect adjustment increase also, because the imperfect action, which, at moderate speed, would only cause a jolt, will, when moving at high velocity, gain sufficient force to cause an overthrow.
