John William Buckle Retnolds, of Lympstone, Devonshire, for ''Im- provements in oblainhif^ motive power for working locomotive carriages and other ;—Graniei\ Nov. 25, 1844 ; Enrolled May 24, 1845. 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-.
