Note 121 — Chapter XI
Reading edition
Baron Seguier evidently still considers himself the inventor of the centre rail system, for after the announcement in the newspapers of the successful crossing of the Mont Cenis Pass, on the 26th of August 1867, he published a letter in the Moniteur, making a statement to the above effect. He added, however, that he did not intend “to raise any question as to the pecuniary advantages that would be derived by others from the invention.”
