Orville could have made that flight
this evening. but 1t was almost dark

would have carried him almost twice

The machine used in the flight con-
sists of two planes. one five feet above
the other and measuring thirty-six feet
from tip to tip. The seat for the
operator is placed in the center Of the
lower plane, off to the left of the mo-
tor. The passenger sits on the
other side of the motor. The
motor itself is product of the
Wright brothers and is a four
cylinder, thirty-horse power water
cooled gasoline engine. The gasoline
is pumped directly into the intake
pipes, there being no carburetors. The
tips of the planes are flexible for
about twelve feet. BY means Of a
lever they can be turned in curve

lever controls the twin rudders which
are supported by brace ten feet from
the rear of the planes.
BY working the two levers together
the equilibrium is maintained. Ten
feet in front OF the operators seat two
planes resembling a box kite about
15x3 feet are used for controlling the
ascent and descent. Two propellers.
about nine feet in diameter and revolv-
ing in opposite directions, are used to
thrust the aeroplane forward. The
weight OF the machine, including both
operator and passenger, is trifle

Washington. The worlds aero
plane record for two men. as to both
time and distance, was broken Tues
day evening. in a beautiful flight Of

averaging about forty miles per hour.
by Orville Wright at Fort Myer. with
Lieut.. Frank P. Lahm of the army sig.
nal corps as passenger.
The former record was made last
year by his brother. Wilbur. joint In
which both achievements were per-
formed, at LIE Mans, France, with
Professor Painlove of the French In
stitute as passenger.
That flight was one hour. 9 minutes
and 81 seconds. Wilbur was an eager
spectator of Tuesdays flight.
The cheering which heralded the
setting of new mark in the conquest
Of the air was led by President Taft
in person. who had sat an intensely
interested spectator throughout the
flight.
This success was all important to
the Wrights, in that it completed the
first of two crucial tests of their ma
chimes imposed upon them by the gov
ernment-the so-called endurance
test" which required them to remain
one hour continuously in the air with
one passenger.
Orville did nearly thirteen minutes
better than that and could have kept
on ndefinftely-three hours and a
half. the limit imposed by the gaso-
line capacity of the supply tank.
