In order to facilitate trans...portation upon the miserable roads, manufacturers had adopted the plan of laying down parallel lines of timber or flat stones for the wheels of waggons to run THE MECHANICAL REVOLUTION 35 over. Later, regular iron tracks were constructed and wheels especially fitted. In 1801, a charter was granted for a railway between Wandsworth and Croydon for the use of horses.
