A most-perfect magic square of order n is a magic square containing the numbers 1 to n2 with two additional properties:
A Crampton locomotive is a type of steam locomotive designed by Thomas Russell Crampton and built by various firms from 1846. The main British builders were Tulk and Ley and Robert Stephenson and Company.
État 231-500 to 231-783 was a series of 4-6-2 steam locomotives of the Chemin de fer de l'État.
Nord 3.1201 to 3.1290 was a class of 90 Pacific (4-6-2) type steam locomotive of the Chemins de Fer du Nord. They served in the north of France and Belgium. The first batch were built in 1923, and last remaining were retired from service in the 1960s. These locomotives were widely known as "Superpacifics" due to their high performance, which made them famous even in Britain.
Jean-Jacques Meyer (1805–1877) was a French engineer, noted for his work with steam engines and steam locomotives.
Jules Petiet was a French mechanical engineer who worked on the early development of the French railway network. He was the Chief Engineer of the Chemins de Fer du Nord from 1845, and became a locomotive engineer from 1848. From 1868 until his death, he was head of the prestigious engineering school École Centrale Paris, of which he was also a graduate.
The du Bousquet locomotive was an unusual design of articulated steam locomotive invented by French locomotive designer Gaston du Bousquet. The design was a tank locomotive, carrying all its fuel and water on board the locomotive proper, and a compound locomotive. The boiler and superstructure were supported upon two swivelling trucks, in a manner similar to a Meyer locomotive.
The Prussian T 16.1 locomotives were built for the Prussian state railways as goods train tank locomotives about the time of the First World War. Six examples were also procured by the Imperial Railways in Alsace-Lorraine.
Nord 4.1201 to 4.1272 was a class of French Mikado tank locomotives built for suburban service on the Chemin de fer du Nord's lines that are north of Paris.
Nord 5.1201 to 5.1230 were a class of 2-10-0 “Decapod” steam locomotives of the Chemins de Fer du Nord, designed to handle heavy coal trains. On 1 January 1938, they all passed to the SNCF, who numbered them 2-150.B.1 to 30.
Nord 4.061 to 4.340 were a class of 2-8-0 tender goods locomotives of the Chemins de fer du Nord. At nationalisation on 1 January 1938 they all passed to the SNCF who renumbered them 2-140.A.1 to 2-140.A.280.
Ceinture 5001 to 5012 were a class of 2-10-2T tank locomotives of the Syndicat d'Exploitation des Chemins de fer de Ceinture de Paris. They were used for hauling freight trains on the Grande Ceinture line in Paris, and later the Région Nord.
Ceinture 81 to 93 were a class of thirteen 4-6-4T ("Baltic") tank locomotives designed by Gaston du Bousquet of the Chemins de fer du Nord for the Syndicat d'Exploitation des Chemins de fer de Ceinture de Paris.
Ceinture 51 to 65 were a class of fifteen 4-6-0T locomotives built in 1902 for the Syndicat d'Exploitation des Chemins de fer de Ceinture de Paris. They passed to the Chemins de fer du Nord in 1934 who renumbered them Nord 3.701 to 3.715. In 1938 they passed to the SNCF who renumbered them 230.TA.1 to 230.TA.6.
Ceinture 21 to 35 were a class of fifteen French 0-6-0T locomotives of the Syndicat d'Exploitation des Chemins de fer de Ceinture de Paris. built in 1899 for pulling suburban passenger trains.
