Description:
Abstract:

The nature of my invention relates to the placing of the driving wheels of a land ,steam carriage in a truck in front of the engine frame, when said truck has an independent horizontal movement for the purpose of guiding or controlling the engine frame that follows it, and when so arranged as that the power of the engine can be transmitted to this horizontally moving truck, without racking, cramping or straining, the connecting rods, frames or any other of the parts which necessarily connect the truck, and engine frames, together.

Claim:

The arranging of the driving wheels of a. steam carriage in a truck frame that can turn independent of the engine frame, and so that the engine frame shall follow or be drawn by the truck frame, instead of the latter being controlled by the former, as has heretofore been done.
