Curtiss has sought speed in ma
chine which can go from place to
a"other, and after stop start back
1T any time.
In his first machine Curtiss de-
p"rted from the practice OF other
builders by cutting down the carry
lnP purposes almost fifty per cent
:. is. of course, made his machine
considerably lighter and by adopt
-" new ideas in construCtiOu Cur
tiSS further reduced the weight
When il comes to power, how
ever. Curtiss moved the other way.

Gurtiss and Wright Machines Com
pared.
'-~ While Curtiss and the Wright
brothers, the American a"rOplane
s inventors have always advocated the
oiplane, leaving the monoplane de-
yelopment to the French. the Amer
lean machines are not nearly SO
identical as might be supposed
from the photographs fthe two in
Tight. The pictures show all of
tie similarities with few of the diff
ferences.
81. To the average person. a biplane
Is an aeroplane with two wings
superimposed, and they are all
alike excepting that the Wrights
have skids and have to start from
rail, while Curtiss uses wheels
and may start from any ordinary
smooth ground. This difference is
an important one, as anyone who
has seen both machines fly may tes-
ufy. The ease with which Curtiss
ieayes the ground within few mo-
nfents of the time he takes the ma
chine from its shed is in sharp con-
uast with the work OF getting the
Wright machine started. II takes
the combined effort OF dozen men
To haul the Wright flyer around

wheels and adjust it on the start
