Beschreibung:
"... I had provided two machines. One a Lilienthal and the other a multiple winged affair of my own. ... The Lilienthal apparatus proved cranky, although involving little risk to the man, an we finally broke it part mending. my own apparatus is more compact and steady and seems to promise to be quite safe and easily managed. At any rate my assistants made some 150 to 200 jumps during the two weeks we were in camp, say from 90 to 100 ft in length or more and to the slightest accident occured. ..."
