21.3.1862 The Chairman reported that Mr Rogers and himself made such arrangements as enabled them (as well as Messrs Tildesley, Pocock and Newell) to witness an experiment on the Paddington Arm on Wednesday last made with the new Steam Tug Rose of 14 horsepower, and that the following particulars shew the result of the experiment, viz that the tug started from the Railway Bridge which crosses the Canal near Bulls Bridge at 11.30am with a train of 8 boats and 1 barge containing a weight of 289 tons and that she arrived at the Paddington Toll House, a distance of 12½ miles a few minutes after 6 o’clock pm, having an average speed (including two stoppages which together lasted 30 minutes) of nearly 2 miles per hour and this too, under unfavourable circumstances as to the arrangement of the boats, etc.
