FROM WIKIPEDIA: Sir David Lionel Goldsmid-Stern-Salomons, 2nd Baronet JP DL (28 January 1851 – 19 April 1925) was a British scientific author, barrister and pioneer of road transport. In around 1830 or 1831 Summers and Ogle based at the Iron Foundry, Millbrook, Southampton, made two three wheeled steam carriages. In 1831 the firm's Nathaniel Ogle gave evidence on the steam carriage to the "Select Committee of the House of Commons on Steam Carriages". In 1832 one of their steam carriages travelled via Oxford to Birmingham and Liverpool. A June 1833 newspaper report described a demonstration in London: On Saturday last Mr Nathaniel Ogle, accompanied by several ladies, together with Mr G Burdett, Mr Macgary, Mr C Bischoff, Mr Babbage and other gentlemen, proceeded by his steam carriage from the Bazaar in King street, Portman square to call on Mr Rothschild at his residence at Stamford hill. The vehicle, although it has been rattled over the roads nearly six hundred miles, is in efficient condition. A small quantity of waste steam was perceptible at first, until the boilers and casing were hot. The distance, full seven miles, was cleared, not withstanding the crowded state of the roads, in thirty one minutes, and the sudden and narrow ascent to Mr Rothschild's made with perfect precision, which was hardly to be expected from so long and ponderous a vehicle. The party was most urbanely and kindly received by Mrs and Mr Rothschild, and after having partaken of refreshments returned to Baker street.
