But I designed to penetrate to the Iditarod by another route.
These engines are mounted on a bed-plate which may be set on any floor without especial preparation therefor. The parts are all made interchangeable. A permanent indicator is provided which shows the exact point of cut-off. The steam-port is exceptionally large, being one-fourth of the piston area. Reciprocating motion is entirely done away with.

'In 1830 the "North American" made the run from New Orleans to Memphis in six days best time on record to that date. It has since been made in two days and ten hours.
