The form Of Curtiss biplane which
travels on the water and land as well
as in the air is winning admiration
at San Diego. The machine is a
standard biplane equipped with bi-
cycle wheels and a pontoon about
three feet wide by twelve feet in
length placed Immediately beneath
the aviator with its long axis at
right angles to the planes. At the
extremities Of the lower plane are two
small triangular copper tanks. whose
function is to prevent the planes
from cutting too deeply into the wa
ter. Mr.. Curtiss seems to have
thought OF everything but a name
for his novel craft. The suggestion
that 1t be known as the hydroterro-
aeroplane shows closer acquaintance
with the classics than with the habit
of the American people to insist upon
cutting long words short.
