To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A perfectly rigid bearing is best for the Tramway traffic, which does not exceed 10 or 15 miles an hour. There is no doubt, however, that with steam-engines the average speed will be increased, and the joints of the rails laid upon longi- tudinal sleepers will give way much quicker than they are now seen to give way on the Tramways laid on timber. I don't know that any system of permanent way is quite satisfac- tory even on railways ; and the same remark applies much more forcibly to Tramways. ...In the timber system, as laid in London, Liverpool, Middlesboro', Dublin, and other places (including part of the Leeds Tramways), I think the construction is unsatisfactory, because the road is elastic, and though there are iron plates under the rails at the joints, a depression of the rail, and a jolt of the car, is generally to be found there, and this would be worse with an increased speed. Besides, I don't think the longitudinal sleeper properly holds the side fastenings generally used to clamp the rails to the sleeper.
