The Man was made of plates of steel hinged at the ankles, knees and hips.
There were driving rods down the legs, showing that the Man’s motive power was steam.
The body of the man made the furnace, and upon its back was the steam chest as well as gauge and indicator.
The tall hat was the smoke-stack, and in the Man’s mouth was the whistle. A headlight was placed in the forehead.
The reservoirs of water were in the Man’s legs and arms, so adjusted that a continual circulation was kept up with the water in the boiler.
Reins extended from the throttle and whistle valves in the Man’s mouth to the dasher of the wagon, and it was by these that the iron monster was guided and driven with the greatest of ease.
This completes the description of the Steam Man.
The wagon was also made of plates of steel, cleverly riveted and bullet proof.
The wagon contained bunkers for coal, also compartments for the safe storage of provisions and ammunition.
Bunks to sleep in were arranged over the coal bunkers.
