Last week I have paid particular attention to the Engines traveling mounted on Springs throughout and Compaired them with those traveling without a Crank Shaft and only 4 of the Wheels on Springs

It is my opinion that the Engines on the Victory Plan traveling at 10 miles per Houre will do as much or more Injurey to the Railway as the Wilberforce Kind of Engine will do going at 15 miles per Houre

J Graham is Further of Opinion that should the Spead not exceed 8 Miles per Houre that the Injurey done to the Railway would not be serious
