Anglo-Frenc- h n NY Intelligent man who has lived a nor-mtwentieth century life can figure out for himself certain things about an airplane-even though he has never flown or has even examined one. The man who has played ball, flown a kite, ridden a bicycle, sailiz&azzAR nz&F ed a boat and driven an automobile, knows enough to pass judgment on airplane propositions like these. Vibration means strain and wear as a basis of their later development. The Stout monoplane is nothing but and tear. Projections mean resistance to the a giant wing, with all the machinery, air, increased vibration and reduced trxxssing, et cetera, in the wing. The engines are set into the leading edge, apeed.
