The blast pipe also increased the draught to the fire by concentrating exhaust steam at the base of the chimney. This meant that the boiler generated more power than any other locomotive in history.
The Inventor - George Stepenson
Hello! I am George Stephenson the co-inventor of the improved steam locomotive or The Rocket. I was originally a fireman in a coal mine with my father. I invented the Butcher which is used to carry coal out of mines.After winning the competition I got tons of money and I went from rags to riches. I tour the country giving explanations of the railroad.
