shine which, according to modern ideas,
is entitled to be called an a~eroplane,
was undoubtedly that of William Hen

City Chambers, Bishopsgate, London,
devised a machine which resembled
very closely the type which has since
been termed the monoplane-that is,
having it's supporting planes practi-
cally forming a single deck, as distin-
guished from the box form OF the BIZ
plane and multiplane devices of later
