Sir Frederick Bramwell says : " It is quite certain that in respect of quietude of travelling, and in the way of not being an annoyance to THE PERIOD OF SUCCCESSFUL APPLICATION. II9 Others upon the road, Hancock's coaches of fif^ years ago far exceeded anything of the present day. It may be asked why it was that if they were so meritorious in an engineering point of view, they did not continue to run ? This is a difficult question to answer. Hancock always endeavoured to show that they paid, bu...t it is believed that he was a better engineer and inventor than commercial man. Be this as it may however, it is unhappily the case that after many years of effort he gave up the endeavour." REDMUND.— Mr. D. Redmund, City Road, London, while employed as engineer to the London and Paddington Steam Carriage Company, acted very dishonourably in secretly taking Hancock's new carriage, the Enterprise, to pieces, so that he could take dimensions and copy the design of the parts, to be embodied in a carriage he was making.
