Though conducted upon a standard equal in all respects to the famous hotels of London and Paris, its prices are moderate. Its restaurant charges are no higher than those of other first class hotels, and rooms may be had at $3 and $4 a day for a large, handsomely furnished single bedroom; the same with private bath for $3 a day (or $6 for two people); or $12 a day and up for an elegant suite consisting of parlor, bedroom and private bath. Reservations for rooms or tables in restaurant may be made by tele- phone, 4500 Plaza C^ommit'tceA Executive Committee Andrew Freedman, Chairman August Belmont Philip T. Dodge James A.

T> Y using a special metal for certain parts of this ■“""magneto, the weight has been materially reduced without sacrificing in the slightest degree the vital elements of strength and safety. f | 'HE Simms Aero-Type Magneto is used and highly endorsed by the most famous European aviators. Read this testimonial from Mr. J. T C. Moore-Brabazon, winner of this year’s Michelin Cup. ‘I have pleasure in stating that my aero- plane, which won the Michelin Cup, was fitted with your magneto, which has never given the very slightest trouble. ’ ’ VIATORS should write for Booklet T, de- scribing the Simms Aero-Type Magneto.

The brand of the technical committee proves this. It didn’t “come back.” It stayed. With other makes (some specially built for the race) working in teams of two or three cars, and virtually relayed against it, this lone entry beat them all and made a faster average time than ever was made in any long distance road race in America, even by the special racing machines of 120-horsepower in the Grand Prize — 278.08 miles in an average of 65.16 miles an hour. AN UNPRECEDENTED PERFORMANCE BY AN UNPRECEDENTED CAR It was a last year car, yes, but what did the trick was the same exclusive ALCO steel and iron of vanadium alloy, ALCO distinctive heat-treating processes and ALCO construction methods that are embodied in all models. The hood was never lifted and the engine never “missed.” When no stop was made for tires or supplies, the laps were rolled od with only eighteen seconds maximum variation.

The desire of so many to have a grand piano has induced most makers to produce tiny “grands” — so little that they serve only to accent the value of the upright. The size of these pianos is a concession to convenience and fashion — a fad — that does not consider mu- sical effect. When a piano is less than 5 feet 10 inches in length it ceases to be a grand piano — it is an arrested development — it is only a pretty piece of furniture. THE STEINWAY MINIATURE GRAND “The Smallest Grand That’s Safe to Buy” has all the characteristics of our great concert grands, in modified volume. It is a REAL GRAND PIANO; it occupies a distinctive position between the uprights and the larger grands; there is a scientific reason for its size, 5 feet 10 inches. Come in and hear it — you will then know why we make nothing smaller in a grand piano.

The part of the board to the right of this line will be used to indicate the progress and results of the Gordon-Bennett cup, the Gordon-Ben- nett elimination, the grand speed, and the kilometer straight-away events. It is to be observed that all events, ex- cept the Gordon-Bennett elimination, the Gordon-Bennett cup and the cross country events will be on the 2,500 meter course and the first two mentioned will take place on the 5,000 meter course. In order to indicate the progress and re- sults of the various events a code of letters, numbers and forms will be used: The forms to indicate events ; the letters for general code use and the numbers to identify aviators and to give time in hours, minutes, seconds and fifths, and altitudes. With re- gard to altitudes it is to be specially noted that all numbers shown on the board must be multiplied by ten to give the altitude in feet. Each column is read from the top vertically downward. As soon as an aviator crosses the start- ing line in full flight his number will be put up in its proper place on the board under the event in which he is competing. The following examples will indicate the use of the board and the code. In figure 1 the red pennant indicates that flying is in progress. The letters AB signify that the letters KO are taken from the general code. Turning to the general code, KO indicates a wind from 1 0 to 15 miles per hour. The form displayed in the next column shows that an hourly distance event is in prog- ress. Referring to the general code the letters BC and CD mean aviator’s number and number of laps, the display signifying that aviator No. 4 has made 7 laps on the 2,500 meter course; aviator No. 6, 6 laps; aviator No. 9, 3 laps and aviator No. 2 has crossed the starting line but has FIG. I 31 INTERNATIONAL AVIATION PROGRAMME , 1910 FIG. 2 not completed the first lap. The triangle at the head of the next column indicates an hourly altitude event and the column headed BC shows that aviators Nos. 3, 7, 8 and 1 1 are in the air competing for the hourly altitude prize. The lower part of the board reads as follows: In the first hour- ly distance event, aviator No. 5 wins with 20 laps or 31.07 miles; aviator No. 1 is second with 17 laps or 26.41 miles and aviator No. 1 2 is third with 1 6 laps or 24.85 miles. In the first hourly altitude event the results are as follows: Aviator No. 10 first with an altitude of 4,270 feet, aviator No. 15 second, with 3,910 feet, and aviator No. 14 third with 3,120 feet. Figure No. 2 indicates that in the Gor- don-Bennett elimination event aviator No. 3 has made 1 7 laps or 52.82 miles in 1 hour, 2 minutes, 14 3-5 seconds; aviator No. 2, 14 laps or 43.49 miles in 58 min- utes, 31 1-5 seconds; aviator No. 9, 5 laps or 15.53 miles in 24 minutes, 27 4-5 seconds; aviator No. 1 6, 1 0 laps or 31 .07 miles in 32 minutes, 19 seconds; aviator No. 12, 9 laps or 27.96 miles in 24 min- utes, 48 2-5 seconds; aviator No. 14, 6 laps or 18.64 miles in 15 minutes, 17 1-5 seconds and aviator No. 6 has started but not completed his first lap. Table No. 1 on page 36 gives the dis- tance in kilometers and miles for any num- ber of laps from 1 to 20 on the 2,500 meter course and table No. 2 on page 36 the same data for the 5,000 meter course; table No. 3 on page 36 shows the speed in miles per hour for one lap made in the tabular time. To find the speed at which an aviator is traveling when the time of making one lap is not given in the table, take the time of one lap by a stop watch and reduce the seconds and fractions thereof to the decimal part of a minute; add this to the number of minutes and divide 93 by the result. The quotient will be the speed in miles per hour on the 2,500 meter course. The quotient arising from dividing 1 86 by the time of one lap expressed in minutes and decimals thereof will give the speed in miles per hour on the 5,000 meter course. For example, suppose an aviator makes one lap on the 2,500 meter course in 1 minute, 52 3-5 seconds, at what rate of speed is he traveling? One minute, fifty- two and three-fifth seconds is equal to 1.88 minutes and dividing 93 by 1.88 the re- sult is 49.47 miles per hour. If an aviator on the 5,000 meter course makes a lap in 4 minutes, 1 5 seconds, or 4.25 minutes, his speed in miles per hour will be 1 86 divided by 4.25 or 43.76 miles per hour. 32 PENNANTS HOURLY ALTITUDE GO R DO N - 3 E N N ET T CUP □ GORDON-BENNETT ELIMINATION CROSS-COUNTRY GRAND SPEED PASSENGER CARRYING CROSS- COU NTRY PASSENGER CARRYING grand altitude SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN CUP michelin trophy 33 LIST OF AVIATORS Number Aviator’s Name 1 2 S’ 3 AUBRUN AUDEMARS BALDWIN 8 ELY 9 GARROS 10 JO 12 GRAHAME- WHITE HAMILTON HARKNESS 13 HARMON 14 HOXSEY 15 JOHNSTONE 16 LATHAM ALv.

( Continued on page 55) 42 43 THE AGE OF AIR T O fly has been man’s dream through the ages. Myths of all races tell of winged gods and flying men. Babylonian lore reveals how Etana, on an eagle, flew to the Sun God, up to the Sky of the Planets. There is the flight of the mythical Greek priest, Abaris, on a magic arrow; and the Ger- manic legend of Wieland the Smith who made a “wing-dress’’ in which he “rose and descended against the wind.” Bladud, king of ancient Britain, adopted wings, only to fall and break his neck. The lore of China and Japan is full of flying men. A giant gull told Ayatac, a Kriss Indian, the secret of how to fly, with the warning: “Do not break the bones of my wings,” but “Ayatac’s strength failed and his bird became paralyzed.” A Peruvian myth re- lates that Ayar Utso, a chieftain, grew wings, and visited the Sun. Kibago, the flying warrior of Nakivingi, African king of Wanyoro, was sent aloft to “scout the enemy” and “from the air, hurled rocks on their enemies.” Polynesia and New Zea- land have their curious legends of flight. All this grips the fancy, now that flying has become only the sorcery of engineer- ing. Yet for centuries, science beheld the flight of living things without once giving a clew to how it could be done. But later legends did. These anticipated the achieve- ment of to-day. There is a breath of the Twentieth Century in the Kalmuck fairy tale about a “wonder-bird,” with a body like a boat, which held a man, who steered the machine up or down or sideways. This is the first monoplane. Men read the legends and began making machines. Sir George Cayley, in 1 843, wrote that in 1810, English inventors of flying machines glided from high h ills, for great distances in calm weather. These pioneer aeroplanes balanced their sides by a two-faced angle, and by carrying the man low in the center of gravity. The fore and aft balance was kept by a movable horizontal and vertical rudder. But the secret of flying was not discovered ; the inventors were discredited and their work was forgotten. Hope of flying was revived forty years ago, when Herr Wilhelm Kress, of Vienna, devised models driven by twisted rubber. He flew them in the wind. Then he set about making a man-carrying aeroplane; but the motor was twice as heavy as he asked for. His funds gave out and his dream ended. But the same ambition pos- sessed the French experimenters Tatin, Pe- naud and Ader, between 1870 and 1873. Penaud’s small rubber-driven models flew for short distances. Tatin built larger mod- els, one being driven by compressed air, but held by a string to a pole, flew only in a circle. With a still heavier machine, he achieved a flight of 20C yards, without balancing. Lawrence Hargrave, of Syd- ney, Australia, made the first models that flew freely over considerable distances. They were driven by compressed air and steam. During these experiments, he in- vented the famous box-kite, which after- ward played its part in the French Voison machine. All these earlier devices flew, but failed to balance. The secret remained with the bird. Sir Hiram Maxim, in 1 893, undertook the first bold attempt to conquer the air, by building a massive machine that was to carry three men. It weighed four tons and had supporting planes of 4,000 square feet. A steam engine of 363 H.P. drove two screws, 1 7 feet and I 0 inches in diameter. At a speed of 36 miles an hour, it launched from steel rails and was sustained by the air; but the lifting effort was so great that the rear axle trees were doubled up. When steam was shut off, the huge machine dropped to the ground and was broken into fragments. Maxim’s machine was too large for its time. Men did not yet know how to manage aeroplanes. But his work pointed the way. In 1 896, Professor Samuel P. Langley, Secretary of the Smith- sonian Institution, aided by Charles M. Manley of New York, went farthest in working out automatic balance, for large and heavy models, propelled by steam and gasolene. To maintain their balance, he used, for the first time, a flexibly connected tail, invented by A. M. Herring, of New York. On October 7th and December 8th, 1903, these models kept in the air until their fuel was exhausted, and they settled on the ground, without damage. The model, driven by gasolene, was so well 44 INTERNATIONAL AVIATION PROGRAMME, 1910 balanced that it kept its equilibrium in a wind of 1 1 miles an hour, more than many aviators are able to do. Professor Langley is now recognized as the first experimenter to obtain accurate engineering data on the lifting power of aeroplanes. But man, him- self, had not yet flown. Otto Lilienthal, a German engineer of great talent, in 1895, built a single spread of wings, with which he made the first practical gliding flights in the wind. He proved that a skilful flyer could balance a machine, by his own efforts. This is the method by which present aeroplanes are controlled. Still, if it had not been for birds, bats and insects, the mind would hardly have solved the secret of real flight. The naturalist, Morey, had analysed all phases of wing’s motion, shown by in- stantaneous photography. But Morey was not able to explain bird-flight, from an en- gineer’s point of view. Lilienthal, the en- gineer, gave the first clear engineering ex- planation of the bird’s art. This helped him to discover the first importance of an aeroplane’s profile line. His many ex- periments in the laboratory went far to- ward pointing out the efficient angle of fly- ing surfaces. Before he met his death, in one of his gliding experiments, he had de- signed a two-surface machine. In 1 896, Octave Chanute, an engineer, assisted by A. M. Herring, experimented with the first, full-sized flying machines with two surfaces, the type of the present biplane. Chanute, being a builder of bridges, trussed two surfaces together, to obtain strength and stiffness. Later, he used the upright posts and diagonal ties, known as the “Pratt truss.” Herring de- vised an elastic attachment for the tail. Over 700 glides were made with this ma- chine, at descending angles of 8 to 10 de- grees. This has become known to the world as the “Chanute type” of glider, which has been improved by the Wrights. They discarded the bird’s tail as an ap- pendage, placing a rudder in front, and de- vised a method of warping the wings to give equilibrium. The only successful pioneers are the Brothers Wright. More practical in their ingenuity, more patient and more resolute — typical Yankees, they took up Lilienthal, and while realizing the value of his work, quickly found wherein he was wrong. They knew of the Chanute experiments with the gliders, and built a very similar machine. But they were not lured by the “siren” of automatic balance. They went after some- thing less wonderful, but far more prac- tical. Taking up gliding, no effort was wasted on developing automatic wonders ; but disregarding promising achievements in that direction, they set out with great de- termination, to improve Lilienthal’s and Chanute’s control by the operator. They actually solved this problem of control with their glider long before an engine was mounted on it. This glider has a highly efficient carrying-power of wing-profile; it was staunch in construction, and perfect of control. It became a good flyer the mo- ment power was applied. But they had already spent years in learning the present aviator’s art of flying. It was very slow work, since there was no one to teach them. All later aviators have learned more or less from them. Santos-Dumont, Farman, Bleriot and Delagrange were of the new flying school. They started with comparatively high- powered machines, with which they flew with less art than was required to keep a low-power Wright machine in the air. But these French machines were not efficiently developed, by training in gliding. Their present perfection was attained, only after Wilbur Wright, during his flight in France, had shown the way, by his art, and his method of side control. This has been imitated more or less in all the other machines. The present Bleriot monoplane was never safe until after ailerons were used on the wing-tips. Out of this Amer- ican evolution of the flying machine, has come the remarkable advance in flying, that the enthusiastic French have developed. But aside from the wonderful speed pro- duced by the monoplane, an American aeroplane driven by Glenn H. Curtiss, last year, at Rheims captured the speed trophy of the world. This victory brought the contest to these shores, where it may be proven whether a monoplane, driven at the terrific speed these machines are capable of achieving, can turn sharply enough around sudden corners of the course, to snatch vic- tory from the more staTIe biplane, with its ampler surfaces.

Nor were the cars lacking in speed. FLEMING made an average of 62% miles an hour for the entire race, going one lap at a speed of 69.26 miles an hour. DINGLE Y made an av- erage of 6 O 10 miles an hour for the entire race, going one lap at a speed of 69.16 miles an hour.

When we consider the almost continuous running of the motor over mountains and the roughest kinds of roads and through rain and mud, this feat of the Reo stands out as A Truly Wonderful Performance the accomplishment of which speaks volumes for the Perfect Ignition which made it possible. Think of the Ignition Device necessary to produce the millions of power-producing sparks unfailingly and almost con- tinuously — night and day for more than 10 days! In the face of such proof of Efficiency and Reliability why wait any longer to have your car equipped with a SPLITDORF Magneto ?

SOME PROE IS SOLVED Moot Points in Aviation Cleared Ui and AerialTravei Thus Made Less Hazardous. Glenn H. Curtiss, who was a maki bicycle engines before he wal ' v ed pver Charles K. Hj; rday and found ♦ the flying- -winging 'k i them had worn almost through. Had it v f orn all the way it would have released I one aileron from the flyer's flexible seat, j and would have made it impossible ever I to regain a level keel once a sidewise wind I had started the planes gliding off on a ' slant. The answer Curtiss found again when he landed at Governors Island was that his pil tank had rubbed against a brace on ac- unt of the engine’s vibration, and had rn a hole in its side, thus dropping his gauge to " empty " when he still had a en miles to travel. amilton’s first accident, in which a peller blade was snapped, occurred be- se engineers, planning a building on 'ernors Island, had driven a section the aviation field full of surveyors’ kes. Only the night before he snapped wire on one of these stakes, and in ing anotherchanceof spinning safe- thronch- J^g3^WBMBSSBaat^ag_lie met a isj re. , ^ to his second accident on the Iqiil ight, Hamilton’s mechanic had seen the .an of light oil that a Philadelphia con- cern Had supplied instead of the brf.nd . ordered, and had refused to accept it. A Times representative promptly dispatched a fast automobile for a can of the proper brand. Ten minute3 before the auto- mobile was due to return light rain be- gan to fall and storm clouds appeared in the west. Hamilton looked them over; he had set his heart on winning the round trip flight from New York and back, and realized that every minute counted. He’wasn't willing to await fair weather and exactly the right oil, so he seized the can himself, filled his tank, and in a minute or two n)oro was up, the air and off.

Owing to misunderstanding, I was supplied there with some other oil, which caused the trouble resulting in my descent. Had I used MOBILOIL on my return flight, 1 should, undoubtedly, have made the trip home without a stop. Very truly yours, CHAS. K.
