À propos de ce contenu audio
George Stephenson was a British civil and mechanical engineer who lived from June 9, 1781 to August 12, 1848. Stephenson, called the "Dad of Railways", was regarded by Victorians as a great example of exertion and a desire to enhance. Samuel Smiles, a self-help supporter, applauded his achievements in particular. The four feet eight +12 inches (1.435 m) basic gauge used by the majority of the world's trains is based upon his chosen rail gauge, at times described as the "Stephenson gauge".
Rail transport, which was created by Stephenson and was a crucial element of the Industrial Revolution, was just one of the most essential innovative developments of the 19th century. The Mobility No. 1 was the first steam engine to transport guests on a public railway, the Stockton and Darlington Train, in 1825. It was built by George and his child Robert's company, Robert Stephenson and Business. The Liverpool and Manchester Train, which opened in 1830, was the world's first public inter-city train path to use engines.
