EXPERIMENTS MADE WITH STEVENS'S BREAD-MAKING MACHINE AT MARYLEBONE WORKHOUSE, 1858. 'MR. STEVENS, THE INVENTOR OF THE A B C BREAD-MAKING MACHINE, IS A PRACTICAL BAKER, AND HAS ACHIEVED A GREAT REPUTATION FOR THE EXCELLENT QUALITIES OF HIS "FAMILY BREAD."
Experiments made with Stevens's Bread-making Machine at Marylebone Workhouse, 1858. 'Mr. Stevens, the inventor of the A B C bread-making machine, is a practical baker, and has achieved a great reputation for the excellent qualities of his "family bread." It is altogether made by his own machines, and its lightness and purity are no doubt owing to the improved means used in the manufacture of it...The results of the experiment show the most complete success...two sacks of flour were made up by hand in the usual manner, and the same quantity made up in the machine...it was found that the machine produced four 4lb.-loaves per sack more than could be obtained by hand-labour...The machine-made bread, being much cleaner than hand-made, must necessarily be more wholesome....[The machine] makes bread without the unhealthy and dirty labour of tossing and plunging the dough about with the hands and arms of men...smaller sizes are used for domestic purposes; not only for bread, but for every description of pudding, buns, sponges, cakes, and pastry in general. It may be seen in daily use at Mr. Stevens's establishment, Cambridge-road, Hackney; the family breadmaking machines being also exhibited at the Crystal Palace and at the Polytechnic Institution'.

CAPTAIN URQUHART EXPERIMENTING WITH HIS LIFE-PRESERVING RAFT ON THE THAMES, [IN LONDON] 1858. 'A CRAFT, ATTRACTING ATTENTION BY ITS SINGULAR APPEARANCE, HAS BEEN LATELY EXPERIMENTED ON BY THE INVENTOR, CAPTAIN W. URQUHART, OF NEW YORK, ON THE THAMES. THIS
Captain Urquhart experimenting with his Life-Preserving Raft on the Thames, [in London] 1858. 'A craft, attracting attention by its singular appearance, has been lately experimented on by the inventor, Captain W. Urquhart, of New York, on the Thames. This new life-preserving apparatus is composed of [nineteen] mattresses connected in such a manner as to form a raft. These mattresses are intended at the same time as beds for the crew and passengers. Each of them is composed of an impervious envelope of gutta-percha, containing another, of common canvas, filled with cork shavings...A valve placed at one of the corners of the outer envelope allows it to be inflated with air...a rope...is used to strengthen the apparatus, and to lash the provisions and watercasks, giving at the same time a hold to the survivors...The apparatus, when constructed on a large scale, would be of great service in saving the crews and passengers of a ship...It might be made use of also to land and embark troops, artillery, and war materials...Wishing to test fully the efficiency of his raft, [Captain Urquhart] intended a fortnight ago to cross the Channel on it from Calais to Dover, but was prevented by the Mayor of Calais'.

BRAY'S TRACTION-ENGINE, 1858. '...THOUSANDS OF SPECTATORS...SEEMED MUCH INTERESTED AND ASTONISHED ON SEEING A STEAM-ENGINE TRAVERSING THE STREETS OF LONDON...ATTACHED WAS A TRUCK, OR PLATFORM, ON WHEELS, LOADED WITH HEAVY PACKAGES OF SEVERAL TONS WEIGHT,
Bray's Traction-engine, 1858. '...thousands of spectators...seemed much interested and astonished on seeing a steam-engine traversing the streets of London...Attached was a truck, or platform, on wheels, loaded with heavy packages of several tons weight, and thus proceeded from the manufactory of Maudslay and Field along the Westminster-road to their wharf close to Westminster-bridge...The engine is the invention of a gentleman named Bray, who has obtained a patent. It is adapted to travel up hill or down, and its speed may he increased at pleasure...Those immense masses of ironwork produced in the workshops of Maudslay and Field...machinery weighing many tons, when required to be removed, being placed on trucks, had to be drawn by...[up to] sixteen horses...[Here is a] motive force, occupying no more room than a van or a common omnibus, performing the same work with an economy of space most desirable in crowded thoroughfares, and doubtless with a great saving...this invention may be used for carrying passengers in our streets, for drawing heavily-laden carts or waggons on the highway or dragging ploughs in the fields, and for performing other necessary and important services which no animal force could sustain or accomplish'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858. Bray's Traction-engine, 1858. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)
