Philadelphia to New York in 10 Minutes.
All sorts of attempts TO produce flying
machines that would fly have been
made, but il has remained for an in
genious Philadelphian TO apply the trol-
ley system Of electricity TO the problem.
FL. Gawthrop, a well known business
man, gives this preliminary description
of the apparatus:
This flying machine is to be driven by
an electric motor, the power being con
veyed by the now well known trolley
system 10 drive large fan. The
body of the machine is large flat sur
face, shaped like the deck of ii vessel,
the stem part hinged and controlled 10
steer the machiue up or down. There
is also rudler 10 change the direction
to right or left, and hanging weight to
keep from fitting.
Like bicycle, it will require much
skill and alertnesS on the part of the OPP
orator, and will be attended with some
dangers TO beginners. 1t should be kept
about 100 feet from the ground 10 give
leewav, and the trolley firmly secured to
the wire and the wire to the poles.
Mr.. Gawthrop is under the impression
that this system, if properly perfected
would enable the distance from Phila-
delphia TO New York to be covered Ill
