Text Appearing Before Image:
tubes about 2V2 inches in diameterand 6 feet long. The top speed when pulling a load of about8 tons was said to have been about 30 miles an hour. The De Witt Clinton was never completely satisfactory, andafter infrequent use in 1831 and 1832 it was disassembledand disposed of piece by piece. Some of the parts were listedas sold on April 20, 1835, others on September 13 and Octo-ber 29, 1836. A total of $485 was realized from the varioussales. In 1891, a wheel said to have been one of the wheels of theoriginal De Witt Clinton, was deposited in the NationalMuseum (USNM 180947) by William Buchanan, at thattime superintendent of motive power of the New York Cen-tral and Hudson River Railroad Co. The all-metal wheel(figure 24) contains 14 round, 1-inch-diameter spokes stag-gered around the hub, and is 52y2 inches in diameter. Theflanged metal tire is missing from the rim, which is 4V8 incheswide, but its presence would undoubtedly bring the overalldiameter of the wheel up to 54 inches. 33
