We will endeavour by the aid of a sketch or diagram to give such a de- scription of this invention (the specification of which is accompanied wilh 3 or i sheets of elaborate draw as will convey to our mechanical readers an idea of this mode of obtaining motive power, wliich is eliected by a peculiar combination of machinery aided by the explosive property of a mix- ture of gas and atmospheric air. that is to say, thcinvention consists in work- ing locomotive engines by means of compressed or condensed air obtained by exploding gas in the manner hereafter described. The accompanying figure, which, as before stated, is merely a diagram, shows a longitudinal section of a locomotive constructed according to this invention. .Suppose a a to re- present the frame of the carriage, b b are two cylinders placed within a cop- per vessel c c, each of these cylinders is provided with a piston and piston-. rod passing through a stuffing box in the cylinder cover; the upper part o the cylinders i' t' communicates by means of pipes with the vessel c c, which communication is provided wiih a valve so as to prevent any air returning from the vessel c c to the cylinders ; it will therefore be understood that if gas and atmospheric air be exploded within the cylinders on the underside of the pistons at b b, the said pistons will be driven upwards, and the air contained in the cylinders above the piston will l)e driven by the ascent of the pistons int
