There must be a mercurial gage af-fixed to the machine, with an index rodshowing the steam pressure above 50pounds per square inch, and constructedto blow out at 120 pounds. 9. The engines which may appear tooffer the greatest advantages will be sub-jected to the performance of thirty daysregular work on the road; at the end ofwhich time, if they shall have proved dur-able and continue to be capable of per-forming agreeably to their first exhibition,as aforesaid, they will be recei
