WAS A MAN WITH A SOFT,
SOFT JOB.
Now, However, He Has Three Clerk
Helping Him and He Wants Two
More Dealt His Way.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct. 25.-Cn-
til about a year ago there was one
man in the United States patent office
who had a soft snap. He was the ex-
aminer in charge of aeronauticai pat
ents: and it was only once or twice
a twelvemOnth that he had a chance to
scan applications for patent rights on
flying machines.
Now, he is the businest man in the
whole office. He has three clerks
helping him, and has petitioned the
powers that be for a couple more.
His present troubles are due to the
recent tremendous influx of applfca-
tions for patents for aeroplanes, dirlg-
ibles. and other craft. There was mild
acceleration of business last fall when
Orville Wright did stunts <se Fort
Myer in his aeroplane; then things

vice of the Dayton brothers machines

extent. could legally be manufactured
in America without liability Of the
manufacturer for infringement of the
Wright patent
In brief. there is a very real posi-
bility of the Wright brothers having a
monopoly of the business of building
and selling seroplanes in this country.
The decision of the courts in the broth
ers' present suit against Glenn Z.
Curtiss for infringement. may settle
the whole question.
The Wrights are suing Curtiss for
infringement of their wrapping" de-
vice On the Wright aeroplane the
tips of both the main planes are sus-
ceptible to movement vertically-each
side independent Of the other. It is
this "warping'' that helps maintain
stability, and is the very basic prin-
ciple of aerial navigation In heavier
than-air machines.
The Curtiss machine has rigid main
planes. which do not warp. However,
to maintain the equilibrium which the
Wright biplane secures through the
wrapping" scheme the Harmonds-
port aviator fixed q small plane at
either end of his main planes, lying
horizontally and parallel to them, but
capable of being moved vertically 1p
and down.
The Wrights claim this is an in
fringement of their X'arpinS patent,
and have already asked for an fnjunc-
ton against Curtiss and will eventu-
ally have the courts settle the ques-
