Mr. Charles Rous-Marten, writing in the "Engineer" on "British Locomotive Work in 1903," records a series of speeds of-over 90 miles an hour attained on many British lines last year. He says: "Last year, however, furnished quite a crop of speed readings at 90 miles an hour and even more. It is almost supererogatory to add, in view of what has already been so often demonstrated in this connection, that the steadiness of the travelling improved with the pace in every instance, especially after the rate of 80 miles an hour was exceeded. At all the highest speeds the runnina was. remarkable for its smoothness.''!? «?-!* %'
