Abstract: 13,597. Croxon, W. June 12. Aerial machines without aerostats; planes, arrangement of; steering.-Consists of a target in the form of an aeroplane, or waterplane, a u t o - matically steered to any direction, previously set, by a compass, electric contacts, and a motor acting on the rudder. The aeroplane is constructed of metal tubing m braced by wires e, and ends a, b and keels c of wood, cork, or floating material, and is provided with main planes k, elevator planes k<1>, fins d, l, a rudder j, a propeller x<1> driven by a motor n, and a compass tank g. The course is set by means of a contact-arm, which is secured to the compass card by means of pins engaging with a toothed disk and completes a circuit through a contact - piece and a motor which moves the rudder to one side or the other when the aeroplane deviates from the set course. The aeroplane is maintained on an even keel by a weight mounted on horizontal guide-rails so as to slide fore or aft when the aeroplane tilts, thus completing an electric circuit through a motor actuating the elevator planes. The areoplane may be sent aloft by means of a gas-filled envelope provided with a hoop and rails, and the weight may be clamped to the guide-rails for a definite time determined by clockwork. In a modification, the rudder is actuated by an electro-magnet and a lever carrying armatures.
