Virgil Il. Moore, inventor of the
auto-piano, and we'll known to
older residents of Imperial Vallcr
rs the Proprietor of garage here
some years ago, is in this city for Il
week to acquaint valley residents
with the progress he has made in
developing the autoplanc' since
he left here to place his IDEAS before
the scientific and acronautical
world.
Moore has obtaincd offirc room
at l39 North Fifth street in the
Oregon hotel building; and here he
las blue prints, drawings, ilustra-
tions aud u mass of technical data
on the autoplanc' with which he
hopes TO rcvoIutionize the airplanc
industry.
Judging from the highly c0mmen-
datorv letters which Moore has on
file from leading aviation experts,
crngreSsmcn, senators. scientific en-
gineers and others. his auto-piano
has long since passed the expert
mcntal or visionary stage and is
field.
Combination Affair
Tho auto-piano as its name
implies. is II combination Of automo-
bilc and airplanc. BY means of pat
Gated folding wings, the airplane
can be converted into an automo-
hiie, even the propeller being turn
cd into Il practical Use by occupying
the place usually taken by a bump
or ON an automobile.
The folding wings are operated
from the pilot : scat, thus making il
possible TO change from airpianr to
"Ltomnbilv or vica versa, without
any difficulty. The auto-piano
is small, compact, but strong and
reliable IFS chief appeal to avia-
tioL leader, is the fact that it elm
mates the necessity of transferring
passengers and baggage from land
ing fields To- the cities near which
the lattcr are located.
Because Of the high price of city
property, it is impossible to main
tain muding fields within easy ar-
cess of thc cities. It therefore be
comes necessary to provide fields in
most eases miles away from the city
portatiou into latter depending
upon the automobile. BY means OF
Moore S Invention. when the air
plans has landed. it can be convert
ed into an automobile at moment ;
notice and can continue on from the
hndiug field into the city.
Has Local Backing
Moore has been backed by local
Icoplc for the past five years, such
men rs George y. Narncy, II. e.
Stevens. T.. Z. lIcmcon and many
others, having faith in the ultimate
success Of his plans, and readily ad-
vanccd him the funds necessary t.
ratcnt his inventions. The patents
have now all been obtained and
Moore has associated with him such
leaders in the acrOnautical world as
JnLn II. McNcan, noted British On
lineer; and W. !. Watcrhousc, con
Sidcrcd one of the leading acr0naut-
ical engineers in the country. Wat
was formerly research cngi-
r,er for the Curtiss company anG
chief engineer of the Standard Air
craft corporation.
II Centre has always been consid-
llcd the birthplace of Moore 5 idea,
for the "auioplano' and he rccciN

cal br. mess men and the FL Ccntro
'hambcr of Commerce. II is for
his reason that he has come back
