dimculty in getting even a glimpse
of the air-ship, and strangers are

Israel Ludlow, and one assistant,

more than ten years of labor.

This aeroplane represents ten

Pluck of Inventor.

Israel Ludlow, who is the son OF
Brig. Gen. B. c. Ludlow, of Gin
cinati. furnishes an example of
pluck and persistence for future
inventors, for he has persisted for
years in trying to build a heavier
.han-air aeTOplane-Persisted even
after an accident two years ago -
Florida, in which, owing to the
collapse OF machine in which he
was flying in the air, he fell more
than 100 feet, the accident result
ing in a partial loss Of the use OF
his lower limbs. Success is now,
he hopes. to crown his long efforts.
Dir. Ludlow SAYS:
The Washington times., 1908-05-31

The plan of the flying machine
was drawn and laid before the
workers. The aeroplane is 2215zs
feet in length, 221s feet wide, and
AZ feet high. The first step was,
therefore, to make poles 221s feet
in length, which was done by join
ing two 1s-foot bamboo poles az
the butt end and in cutting off
the extra length, or by overlapping
the small ends until the length of
the joined sticks was 22H feet.

The question of equilibrium is
of the utmost Importance. and one
which I assert IS solved by this
form OF construction. Twenty or
thirty times an aeroplane like this
was sent up as a kite carrying q
man. and in every instance was its
stability satisfactory.

The expenses were overcome
