The Navelty was one of the entries in the Rainhill Trials. It was built by John Ericsson and John Braithwaite. This Design was based on road steam carriages. Navelties are a upright boilers. This was built in six weeks and weighing 2-3 tons. It was one of the smaller entries.

What is an entry? can you give a little more information. The posting is not very clear for someone who has no idea what you are talking about and no background information.
Thanks!

Whos John Braithwaite? What were these made for? Did they improve anything?
