Excerpt from Audels Engineers and Mechanics Guide 3: A Progressive Illustrated Series, With Questions-Answers Calculations, Covering Modern Engineering Practice, Specially Prepared for All Engineers, All Mechanics and All Electricians
When locomotive builders started work, they used as few wheels as possible. The first engines had one pair of drivers to make the engine move, and one pair of carrying wheels to keep it on the track. The boilers were built as small as possible to do the work, and were placed between the wheels. Only about one-half of the weight was available for adhesion.
