. Bulletin - United States National Museum. Science. Figure 33.—The 2-cylinder, V-type steam engine of Long's tricycle. To effect the restoration it was necessary to replace some missing parts. It is interesting to note that George Eli Whitney, of Bridgeport, Conn., constructed the replace- ment fire-tube boiler and its appurtenances. Whitney is well known as a pioneer steam automobile designer and builder of the mid-1890's, and his work greatly influenced the Stanley brothers of later steam fame. Other important restoration was performed on the tricycle by Russell Davis of Leominster, Mass. T

Other important restoration was performed on the tricycle by Russell Davis of Leominster, Mass. The 2-cylinder, 90° V-type engine, with a stroke of 15/s inches, was designed and built by Long at Northfield in 1879, and the framework and running gear were con- structed by him in the following year or so at Hartford, Conn., in Albert A. Pope's Columbia bicycle plant located in the factory of the Weed Sewing Machine Co. Several different types of boiler were constructed and tried at this 42.
