machine vertically and are connected to a horizontal shaft by which is [[strikethrough]] turned [[/strikethrough]] driven by a light but very powerful steam engine o.

23. In the body of the machine, to the rear of the engine is placed a vertical steam boiler a the smoke-stack of which, passes through the upper surface of the main body called the shell of the machine. 24 In front of the shell there is a drag propeller e; [[strikethrough]] is [[/strikethrough]] at the rear is [[strikethrough]] the same being [[/strikethrough]] a propeller f of the same size of the same size but different in the manner of movements. 25 Underneath [[strikethrough]] is [[/strikethrough]] and supporting all when at rest, on the ground, are two long [[strikethrough]] grooved [[/strikethrough]] hollow irons g similar to the double runners of a sled. 26 In the bottom of the shell is the water space h; above it the coal bunkers i. 27 At right angles to the major axis and above the control of figure which is itself about one-third higher upon the shell than the center of gravity, is a long hollow shaft k on the [[strikethrough]] support [[/strikethrough]] outer ends of which on either side are two balancing balls lie. 28 These balls are connected with a pendulum motion inside the machine in such a manner that, if, when in the air, the machine sways on either side the centre of gravity to immediately thrown back gain into the central figure, by the ball on the higher side being projected outwards, as the pendulum falls upon its own perpendicular. 29 The rear or stern propeller is driven by mitre [[miter]] gearing sec. from the main shaft of the engine in the same way that the drag propeller is driven in front by the wheels n except that the rear propeller is set upon [[strikethrough]] the [[/strikethrough]] a universal socket joint and in such a manner that while it may rotate upon its own axis, the direction of the axis may be changed from five to six degrees, in either direction, horizontally, by means of a small wire couple which is attached to the extreme end of the horizontal shaft, passes around  the main supporting irons, and enters by the shell under the counter, and it is connected  to [[strikethrough]] an end [[strikethrough]] hand gearing somewhat similar to the steering wheel of an ordinary ship. 30 On the outer side of the shell
