Probably no ninaeum collection In the
world better 111uatrates the develop
ment of the steam engine, particularly
the locomotive, than the exhibit of the
United States National mtdeum at
Washington, which includes two of the
earliest original locomotives and nu-
merous models and accessories.
The history of the steam engine Is a
materialistic romance without parallel
in the record of human acbl^vementa.
It coven the atupendous and penlst-
ent efforts of many early pbUoaopben
and mechanlca who found ateam a
mysterious uncontrollable force and
left It a cemprebenslble controllable
factor of public aervlce.
No one knowa bow long after It was
observed that by bolding down tbe lid
of a kettle of boiling liquid a certain
force was created, due to the com
preealon of tbe ateam. before any use
was attempted with this newly discov
ered force. It is certain, however, that
a sort of steam engine was exhibited
In Alexandria. Egypt, about 200 yean
before our en began, and It was de
scribed In a work on pneumatics by
Herwof Alexandria, written between
, ISO and 130 B. C. This machine was
a rotary affair, more theoretical than
practical, aa wen many of tbe results
of philosophy In those days. A recon
etrnctton of this engine in model form
Ik In tbe museum exhibits.
Nothing more Is to be found concern
ing tbe at Aim engine for centuries, a
fact wblcb la no donbt due to tbe lack
of Interest in anything which did not
have to do with war or warlike Imple
meats. A book published In Home in
HB9 gives a description of tilovann!
Bnnca s crude steam engine, showing
It to have been an elementary steam
turbine, with tbe sole defect tbat It
lacked any appliances for making tbe
steam follow tbe vanes, or buckets, of
tbe revolving wheel, so tbat more of
Its energy might have been converted
Into useful work. One author In a
treatise on locomotive* claims that bad
acme geulua Improved upon this early
device the reciprocating engine would
probably never have been Invented, but
tbat we would bave bad tbe advantage
of our modern turbines much sooner.
Tbe muieum possesses a model of a
very early machine designed by Sir
Isaac Newton In 1080 which was pro
|ielled by a Jet of steam projected
backward against tbe atr and a model
of I»enls Papin's Invention of about
tbe aame time. The Investigations of
8avery and Papin and tbe successful
' experiments! engines of Thomas New
comen In 17W1 with hie piston and
cylinder soon followed. Newcomen's
ideas were Improved by Janies Watt In
17(10. who also Introduced the high
pressure engines, the condenser and
later tbe double acting engine. Tho
development of the enxhie was advanc
ed by Cugnot. Evans. Hornhlower and
Murdoch. A model of the latter'a en
gine la on display hi the museum.
Aa the result of a wager mode by a
resident of Merthyr Tydrtl. on Impor
tant Iron town of South Wales, tbat
be could convey a load of Iron nine
miles by the power of steam alone
Hh hard Trevithick made the drat eu
gins *o run on rails In ISOit and won
tbe wager for his employer the next
year. Trevithick, It has lieen claimed,
copied the stationary engine built In
1800 by Oliver Evans, an American,
■who was later Ingenious enough to at
tach wheels to a scow and pro|>el It by
steam through the streets of Philadel
phia In 18m., This curious creation,
called the Oruktor Ampbibolis, was the
drat motorcar to run on American solL
A model of Trevithick's engine la to
be seen In tbe National muaeum. aa
la also the model of the engine em
ployed by John Stevena In 1825 and
hla original tubular boiler. Other mod
els llluatrate nearly all tbe types which
began to put In their api>earance soon
after 182d, when the Stourbridge
Lion was built In England and strip
ped to America, where it was the Brat
engine to run on full sized rails. The
muaeum possesses not only the model
of this historic engine, but tbe orig
inal engine Itself. The other original
full sized locomotive to be seen In the
museum is tbe John Bull, built by
Oeorge Stephenson & Sons of England
and shlpj>M to America for use in 1831
ou tbe Camden and Amboy railroad.
It la interesting to recall tbat this old
relic of early railroading in America
made a round trip under its own steam
In 1803 from New York to Chicago,
where It was exhibited at tbe World's
Colombian exposition.
Among tbe models of early and his
toric locomotives are Qeorge Stephen
son’s Rocket which was built In 1829;
*be B. and O. engine Tom Thumb, built
by Peter Cooper in 1829; the grasshop
per typ* engine Arabian of 1831; the
Best Friend, used in 183(1-1: Baldwin’s
Old Ironsides, constructed in 1832;
tbe Sandusky, built In 1837, aud
models of engines made by Aan Whit
ney In 184U and C. A. NlcholU in
1848. Besides the two locomotives and
the numerous engine models, there are
la the exhibit coach and car models,
section* of rails, spikes, w bwela and
wwdeH and part* et-aulvaa.
