| Sir Goldsworth Gurney began experiments in 1823, and his
vehicles became well-known as Gurney's steam carriages. In February 1829, he
made a journey in his steam carriage from London to Bath and back again,
travelling at 15mph (24kph). The double journey was 212 miles (341km) and was
made at the request of the quartermaster general of the army. |
