Bray Traction Engine Company; 1862 March. 3rd AGM. 'A new engine, No. 16, built at the company's factory was finished a few months since. In its construction every desirable adaptation was tried, and as some of these were necessarily experimental, its completion was considerably delayed by the modifications and alterations suggested as the construction proceeded. The results obtained, however, when the engine was brought out, left no doubt that it was the best traction engine ever built. Several eligible contracts at a distance were at once offered for the employment of this improved engine, but, having no other to supply its place, the directors were obliged, in the interests of the company, to decline those offers, and confine its services to special work in the neighbourhood of London. It had removed for Messrs. John Penn and Son - for whom it was now working - some immense loads of machinery for the large engines they manufacture, with far more ease, and occupied much less time, than two of the old engines under similar circumstances.... They had also obtained as their consulting engineer Mr. D. K. Clark, C.E., a gentleman well known from his great experience and works in locomotive engines,....Her Majesty's government had ordered an engine similar in design to No. 16, with the addition of various appliances for transmitting power to other machinery, to be built for permanent service in Woolwich Dockyard, where the directors hoped to deliver it about the beginning of May..
