KNABENSHUE'S DlRIGIBLE

Capitalist E. Oscar Hart Will Go as a
Passenger and Scatter Coins on
Ascension of Alrship
Today

Roy Knabenshue will carry E. oscar
Hart as a passenger on his airship
fight at Chutes park this afternoon,
making the first three-passenge dirig-
ible trip at Los Angeles. Mr.. Hart said
last night that he would so, and prom
Used Dick Ferris that he would scatter
money on the Chutes ball park every
time the airship is steered over it. He
objected to this at first, not wanting
possible notoriety, but when Ferris
urged that it would be a good adver-
tisement for Skidoo, New, Hart fell in
with the plan.
Mr.. Hart will not be compelled to
hang to the frame with Knabenshue
and Deussler, but will have a COM
Portable wicker basket in which to
make the trip. The dirigible will be
steered back and forth over the park,
executing maneuvers similar to those
of last Sunday, showing the control
maintained over the airship.
The only thing that can prevent a
three-passenger flight is weather con-
ditions which Mr.. Knabenshue would
regard as making the fight not en-
tirely safe. He has made three trips
with the airship carrying three men,
but the difficulty of steering is much
greater, and he will not attempt unless
sure that there is no danger. If the
Weather should not permit the taking
of an extra man, an exhibition flight
will be made by Knabenshue and
Deussler alone and Mr.. Hart will be
taken UP later Mr. Knabenshue was
confident last night that he would be
able to make a three-passenge trip

FAST RECORDS
ARE MADE AT
BROOKLANDS
SINGLE CYLINDER MAKES 100
MILES IN 1:31:54
Napier Does Half Mile at Rate of
114 3-4 Miles an Hour, and Motor
cycle Goes 20 1-S Miles in
One Hour

Although the Brooklands season has
come to an end as far as the public
meetings are concerned attempts at
record are still the order of the day.
Perhaps the most interesting of all
was the performance of the little six
horse power Sizaire-Naudin voiturette
the particular car which won the
Coupe des Voiturettes last September.
In spite of the wind and rain or
Wednesday, November 4, M. Naudin,
accompanied by M. Sizaire, decided to
make the attempts From a flying start
the rst half mile was covered at rate
of 661s miles an hour, and, keeping up
its speed with great regularity, the
curious looking blue car passed the %
mile mark in 40 minutes 81 seconds
an average of 651a miles an hour. In
the hour 651a miles were covered, and
finally the full hundred miles were
completed in 1 hour 81 minutes 81 Sec
onds, equal to So IA miles per hour
The bore of the single cylinder was
officially measured up to be 1893 inches,
while the length of stroke is said to
be S.S inches, or possibly even more.
A new name has been added to the
record list by the performance of one
of the Grand PriX Brasiers, driven by
Bablot. This car just comes within
the so h. p. classification, and as was
anticipated, it made short work of the
existing figures, which represented a
speed average of just over So miles an
hour. The flying half mile was covered
by the Brasier at 1882 miles per hour,
and the ten laps which, taken from a
standing start. constitute the second
standard distance, showed an average
of 101 ga miles for the q miles.
A second monster which helped to
make this day of note was the Napier
Sampson-memorable from its contest
with Nazarros red Mephistopheles
Driven by Newton. the car raised the
80 horse power half-mile record to an
average of 114A miles per hour-some-
where near the limit of Brooklands'
speed possibilities. The ten laps were
soon reeled off at 102h miles per hour,
but while this is a record, it is some
what disappointing when compared
with the Brasier speed.

interest in the track hitherto, but a

AIRSHIP WEIRD
VIEW AT NIGHT
EIGHT CYLINDERS OF ENGINE
FlERCELY SPIT FIRE
ZERBE AEROPLANE PULLS ITSELF
ALONG DIRT ROAD
Need for Stronger Propeller Prevents
Flight in Air, but Inventor
Finds Trial Satisfac-
tory So Far

The Zerbe airship went tearing down
New Hampshire avenue after dark last
night, making terrifying apparition
with the eight cylinders of the 40-horse
power engine splitting fire. The trial
was made on a vacant street with Ian
terms guarding the end of the block.
As trials of the engine early in the
afternoon had shown that the pro-
peller attached was not safe with the
engine making 1900 revolutions a
minute the machine was not allowed to
leave the ground, and no attempt at
flight will be made until suitable pro-
peller can be attached.
Yesterdays trials demonstrated the
efficiency of the engine in a manner en-
tirely satisfactory to Prof. Zerbe and
his assistant, j. H. Klassen. 1t af-
forded ample exhibition to the crowc
gathered in the hope Of seeing a flight.
At high speed the propeller yibrated
so that it's efficiency was impaired, and
Mr.. Zerbe considered it unsafe.
The propeller was stiffened by tauten-
ing with piano wire in order to make a
further trial of the engine, and at
o'clock last night the machine was
taken out several blocks from it's shed
The planes were left partly open, but
after starting the machine moved down
the road on the power of its engine, pull
being exerted that was estimated OF
$50 pounds. After a demonstration suf-
ficient to show the perfect working of
the engine the airship was taken back
to the shed.
Prof Zerbe is insistent that all de-
tails be properly worked out before at
tempting to send his machine into the
air. He has completed a thorough test
of the engine, but will try out longer
and narrower shapes of propeller until
he has that feature of the aeronef well
developed. This week will be devoted
to the construction of a propeller that
will be thoroughly dependable.
The airship will be on exhibition at
its shed at Bimini baths today with an
attendant to explain it's working
mechanism, but no public field trials
will be made until it's inventor is con-
WINGED that the propeller and other de-
tails will do the work thoroughly.
