- X.-Onthe Action of Steam in Cornish Single Pumping Engines. BY JOSIAH PARKES, M. INST. C. E. Read June 16th, 1 W . INTRODUCTION. someeconomy is derived from working steam expansively ; that is, by introducing the steam upon the piston of an engine at a pressure exceeding the force of the resistance opposed to it-by stoppingitsfurtherentranceintothecylinderat some portion of the stroke-and, finally, by allowing it to expand to the end of the stroke, when it quits the cylinder at a pressure less than that of the resistance...

- 295 XI._On Setting - out Railway Curves. By CHARLES BOURNS, Assoc. Inst. C.E. Read May 5th, 1840. of the Taff Vale Railway, which from the nature of the country presented circumstances of unusual difficulty, rendering it necessary to use curves constantly, and to vary their radii and flexure very frequently, my attention was particularly drawn to the principles upon which the practice of setting-out a line was founded, so as to preserve a proper continuity of curvature. Various methods have been hitherto proposed, none of which appeared to me to be generally practicable...

- 305 XI1.-On the Locomotive Engines o the London and Birwzingham Railway. f By EDWARD BURY, M. Inst. C.E. Read March l%h, 1840. BY the permission of the Board of Directors of the London and Birmingham Railway, I am enabled to furnish the Institution of Civil Engineers with the four Half-yearly Returns of the Locomotive department, on their line, between .January 1539 and December 1540. These returns are accompanied by a drawing of the Locomotive Engines to which they refer, with details of the principal parts ; and as the quantity of coke consumed, as well as the cost of repairs, is much less than usual (which may, I conceive,be attributed to the system followed in the construction of the engines), I would make some observations upon those parts in which they more essentially differfrom other locomotives...
