1. Title: London Locomotive Engine with Fenton's Expansion Gear (1844) This print showcases a detailed plan, front, and side elevations, as well as sections of a London locomotive engine, featuring the innovative expansion gear design by James Fenton. Dated back to 1844, this steam-powered locomotive was a significant milestone in the development of transportation technology. The expansion gear, a crucial component of the engine, was designed by James Fenton to address the issue of thermal stress in steam engines. The traditional method of using a piston with a constant volume cylinder led to the piston being subjected to extreme pressure differences during the power and exhaust strokes, which could cause damage. Fenton's expansion gear system allowed the cylinder volume to change during the power stroke, reducing the thermal stress and increasing the engine's efficiency. The London Locomotive Engine with Fenton's Expansion Gear was a testament to the ingenuity and progression of the steam engine technology during the Industrial Revolution. The intricate design of the engine, as depicted in the print, reveals the complex mechanical components that made up the engine, including the cylinders, pistons, crankshaft, connecting rods, and the expansion gear itself. The print serves as a valuable historical record of the advancements in transportation technology during the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the intricacies of the steam engine and the role that James Fenton's expansion gear played in improving the efficiency and longevity of these powerful machines.
