HASWELL'S
FOUR CYLINDER LOCOMOTIVE
1861 |
 |
|
This engine was made by Mr. John Haswell of the Austrian State
Railway Works at Vienna and exhibited in the International
Exhibition of 1862.
This engine was designed to run with the utmost steadiness at
high speeds and for this purpose two cylinders with their
working parts were provided for each driving wheel and by
connecting the pistons to crank pins diametrically opposite to
each other the whole momentum of each set of reciprocating parts
was balanced by that of the other set.
