f a centurythere has been a continuous effort toremedy this initial mistake, and I can-not illustrate more forcibly the distancewhich had to be travelled between thetwo terminal points of this effort thanby showing in one illustration on a uni-form scale the type of engine with whichthe New Zealand Government Railwaysof 3 feet 6-inch gauge practically started,and the type at which it has now ar-rived. .
