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.)
