Most likely the firm's third and final glider built by Charles Proteus Steinmetz – the "Wizard of Schnectady" – and others in 1894.Steinmetz is not well known today but he accomplished a great deal in his lifetime considering he had dwarfism, was hunchback, and had his dysplasia. While working for General electric at Schenectady, N.Y., Steinmetz organized a band of fellow flying machine enthusiasts into the Mohawk aerial Navigation company, and over the summer of 1894 built and tested a man-carrying kite and two true gliders.
