Excerpt from Railway Eccentrics: Inconsistencies of Men of Genius Exemplified in the Practice and Precept of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Esq., And in the Theoretical Opinions of Charles Alexander Saunders, Esq., Secretary to the Great Western Railway It appears, then, that the party who introduced the 7-feet Gauge after the 4 ft. 815 in.
