Show AIRSHIP INVENTED BY PROVO MAN MAY EL FLY Y George Geore T Jr Believes He Has HasS Solved S Problem of Aerial Aerl Navigation Special to The Provo March 28 George T Jr of ot this city cl Is one of ot the latest to enter the field of aviation He lie Ie has bas applied for a a patent patent and has a 1 work working workIng working ing model mo el nearly completed In fact as soon as he lie receives his gasoline en engine engine engine gine which will wJ furnish the motive power he will wIl bo ready to make ma e a atrial atrial atrial trial trip The machine Is constructed of Iron except the cage which will wil contain the engine and the passengers which Is made of heavy lumber Mr Peny says if I that will not go up his bis theory is wrong and he does not ad admit admit admit mit that and It would be no use us to build a lighter and arid more expensive model although he intends his machine when built buit for the market to tobe tobe tobe be constructed of lighter ma material material tonal The big revolving wheel which Is now galvanized Iron will wil be made of aluminum and the upright Iron pole or rod rot will wil be replaced with wih steel while the cage will wIl be made of wicker or orsome some light material material The principle and construction of the machine are very er simple A tubular Iron rod extends upWards from the cage about six feet At the top of this rod fc it wheel with wih four flanges and about eight feet in diameter Is attached horizontally The flanges fanges are slightly oblique to the horizontal plane of the wheel being a little higher In front than behind they the also have rims at the outer edges be below below below low the surface of the flange which tend to hold the air from escaping at atthe atthe atthe the sides The power from the gasoline engine set seta the rod and wheel in a revolving motion moton and the result resul is that the wheel bores its Is way wa up through the theair theair theair air The rod has a knuckle joint about half hal way wa down own which enables the operator to hold it I level by b tipping the wheel from one side to the other and a rudder is attached to direct the car The air can also be shut off oft the wheel by means of ot curtains at the back backof of each flange fange which then causes the wheel to become simply a parachute Mr Ir Pe firmly believes he lie has lis solved the problem of aerial navigation He figures that he lie can make revo revolutions revolutions revolutions of the wheel a minute with wih a engine and a wheel or plane and that he can cn carry crr four passengers through the air at the rate of sixty sity size miles mies an hour with wih a machine of of this The principles of the machine have been submitted to expert mechanics mechanIc and have lae their approval and a toy to model has gone up In n the air all and Is probably traveling yet yet The working model Mr Ir Is now constructing lias hub been tried by power applied from froma a stationary engine and It I took two men to hold It down with wih ropes rope till tJ the power could be bo shut off offA of offA A machine or airship constructed on the model devised by b Mr Pea can cn be cheaply built buit It I will wi therefore be within the reach rech of people with wih limited means and may ma become more popular than the automobile in a few years cars carsI If I the test left with wih the gasoline engine proves all al that Mr r Pea expects he will at once arrange for the manufacture manufacture manufacture ture of the airship and for placing It I on the tho market |
