7. To insiu-c all these points being fully adhered to, a lithograph plan awl 
section, showing the exact position of the Shaft, diameter of the Pulley, and 
a Friction-break, and also of the Boiler, with the end and height of the- 
Steam-pipe figured with the exact dimensions, will be supplied to ExhibitoTS- 
on application to the Secretary. 
8. After the Exhibitors shall have complied with the conditions required of 
them by the Society to entitle them to exhibit, the order of trial will be 
fixed by Ballot, taken by order of the Stewards, and the ordinal number 
assigned for the trial of each Engine or Machine will be given to each 
Exhibitor. The Exhibitors will then place their respective Engines or 
Machines in the order thus assigned, beginning at one end with the Engine or 
Machine drawn by ballot No. 1. To enable this to be done effectually, each 
Exhibitor will be required to specify, on entering his Engine or Machine for 
competition (that is, not later than the First of June), the width or space 
which it will occupy for trial. 
9. All the Engines and Machines intended to be tried must be fixed by a 
given time — namely, by five p.m. on Saturday, the 9th of July, and strictly 
in the position and under the conditions required ; if not, the Judges will 
have the power of declining the trial, and of having the Engines or Machines 
removed from the yard. 
10. The trials of the Steara-Engines will be made with Llangennech 
coal. 
11. Any Engine or Machine, whether entered for competition or not, 
which, from defect in construction or any other cause, is in the opinion of the 
Judges and Consulting Engineer, unsafe, shall not be allowed to work on the 
Society's premises : and further, the word unsafe shall be attached to the 
Engine during the remainder of the Exhibition.
