"'I say a night's work, but an hour's would be nearer the mark. I simply want your opinion about a hydraulic stamping machine which has got out of gear. If you show us what is wrong we shall soon set it right ourselves. What do you think of such a commission as that?'
(Adventure IX, pg. 122)

(Adventure IX, pg. 123)
A huge hydraulic press designed by Stevenson that had lifted the metal tubes of a bridge at Bangor, was one of the exhibits in the Great Exhibition of 1851 in the Chrystal palace.
