A small, but puissant, radial tank rated to pull 120 tonnes up 1 1/2% grades and around 200 meter (656 feet or 8 3/4 degree) curves. Indeed, such was the play built into the design that the engine could negotiate 50 meter (164 foot) curves or 35 degrees. A slight discrepancy - the table gives the valve motion as Allan, but the Jury's report credits it with Stephenson gear.
