I told some of you last Thursday of the principles of the Time Machine and showed you the actual thing itself incomplete in the workshop There it is now a little travel worn truly and one of the ivory bars is cracked and a brass rail bent but the rest of its sound enough I expected to finish it on Friday but on Friday when the putting together was nearly done I found that one of the nickel bars was exactly one inch too short and this I had to get remade so that the thing was not complete until this morning It was at ten oclock today that the first of all Time Machines began its career I gave it a last tap tried all the screws again put one more drop of oil on the quartz rod and sat myself in the saddle I suppose a suicide who holds a pistol to his skull feels much the same wonder at what will come next as I felt then I took the starting lever in one hand and the stopping one in the other pressed the first and almost immediately the second I seemed to reel I felt a nightmare sensation of falling and looking round I saw the laboratory exactly as before Had anything happened For a moment I suspected that my intellect had tricked me Then I noted the clock A moment before as it seemed it had stood at a minute or so past ten now it was nearly half past three
