Today's Google reminds us of the anniversary of Richard Trevithick. Cleverly done - have a look.

Trevithick doing the cog-wheels and Bulleid the chains perhaps? Trevithick might have had a bit of trouble using a telephone and speaking in French to Andre Chapelon when he felt he needed a bit of advice though :) I don't think he was too good at keeping axle weights down either :(

Made me smile, so it did. Very welcome after the events of 13 April (see My Poor Little Cat for details.)
If I ain't here, I'm in Bilston, scoffing decent chips at last!!!!
