Goudie's Perpetual Sleigh Road Supersedes The Railway: And Is Capable Of Carrying Passengers At A Rate Of Eighty To One Hundred Miles An Hour (1874) is a book written by David R. Goudie. The book presents a revolutionary transportation system that Goudie claims can replace the railway. The system is called the Perpetual Sleigh Road and it is capable of carrying passengers at a speed of eighty to one hundred miles an hour. Goudie explains in detail how the system works and provides illustrations to support his claims. The system is based on the principle of perpetual motion, which means that it can operate indefinitely without the need for external energy input. The sleigh road is made up of a series of interconnected tracks that are designed to support a sleigh-like vehicle. The vehicle is propelled by a series of rollers that are powered by a system of weights and springs. The book also includes a discussion on the advantages of the perpetual sleigh road over the railway. Goudie argues that the system is faster, more efficient, and cheaper to operate than the railway. He also claims that the system is safer and more environmentally friendly than the railway. Overall, Goudie's Perpetual Sleigh Road Supersedes The Railway: And Is Capable Of Carrying Passengers At A Rate Of Eighty To One Hundred Miles An Hour (1874) is a fascinating book that presents a unique and innovative transportation system. While the system never gained widespread acceptance, the book remains an interesting historical artifact that provides insight into the technological advancements of the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
