Wrights Perfect New
Aeroplane Control

In order to simplify the work Of fly
ing in Wright aeroplanes, the crafts
that are made by the Wright company
in the future will be equipped with new
controls. One of the new machines will
arrive at the army aviation school,
College Park, Md, next week. The con-
troll of the old Wright machines was
such that when a man learned to fly in
the right-hand> seat, he could not sue
cessfully operate the craft from the
left-hand seat, because the levers used
for warping the planes occupied different
positions. Now once a man learns to
fly he finds the warping levers always
on his right, and the eleyating levers
to his left.
