Trevithick and Vivian's high-pressure engine,historical artwork. Richard Trevithick (1771- 1833),a Cornish engineer and inventor,worked with his cousin Andrew Vivian on designs for high- pressure steam engines. In 1802,they filed a historic patent for stationary (pictured here) and locomotive engines. Trevithick continued to develop his engines,and in 1804 produced the first steam locomotive to run on a railway.
