English: Annotation by Anna Jane Gurney in Trams and Railway Locomotives, specifying that her father's "steamjet" (steam blast pipe) had been responsible for Robert Stephenson's success with Locomotion. The annotation reads:
It was the blast produced by Gurney's "Steamjet" that enabled Stephenson to win the prize. The "Steamjet" had given high speed to Gurney's steam carriages on common roads. And this was its first application to a railway carriage i.e. Locomotion. |
