(Henson's Aerial Steam Carriage) The Aerial Transit Company's Station in the Plains of Hindostan. From the Original Design. (text underneath reads: The Carriage containing the Steam Engine of 20 horse power & passengers is suspended beneath a frame 160ft long 30ft wide & covered with oiled silk. In descending the inclined rails it acquires sufficient buoyancy to cause its ascent, when it is propelled by 2 sets of vanes of 20 feet diameter situated at the joint of the tail, which expand to a breadth of 20 feet.)
