Let men who pretend to fear such
result work as we did down AT
Kitty Hawk" he replied. II don't
suppose there will be very many law
suits brought by our company against
men working for the development of
the art. We never fused with Her
ring or Curtiss while they were eX
rerimenting. We feel we have a right
to proceed against man who copies
cur machine and uses it for exhibition
purposes or uses it for his personal
pleasure to avoid having to buy Il
Wright machine. 1t is to our interest
to encourage all experimental work.
Choking he art is furthest from our
minds. If we can keep the other fell
lows who have infringed our patents
from taking all the cream there'll be
more butter made in the end"
He epitonized the hopes and irten-
tons of himself and his brother by
saying that the formation of the
Wright company would enable them
to do the experimental kind of flying |
they did at Kitty Hawk. n. c.. before
1905.
"Our work from now on will be en-
perimental-in the laboratory and in |
the air" he said. "Since 1903 we have
been so busy catching trains. so to |
speak. that. in broad sense. we were
able then to do as well as we are able
to do now. We think we can improve
on our machine now that we shall |
have the time. Increased safety. add
ed carrying capacity and one or two
things that ! am not at liberty to
speak Of are in prospect"
