Messrs. Tuxford's Traction-Engine, exhibited at the Smithfield Club Cattle Show, 1857. Creator: Unknown
Messrs. Tuxford's Traction-Engine, exhibited at the Smithfield Club Cattle Show, [London], 1857....the Traction Engine, or Steam Horse [is] a sort of walking leviathan, more powerful than the elephant, yet as manageable as the farmer's best-bred cart-horse. A number of these self-moving machines are in course of construction, or are already completed, for some large sugar plantations in the West Indies...the credit of its invention belongs to Mr. Boydell...This engine weighs altogether about twelve tons, and is consequently a costly affair'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
