Fighting men in dirigibles were a +bare possibility; but nothing more than that. Every amateur building an +aeroplane (or even merely intending to build one) in his back garden was +a possible "conqueror of the air." The aeroplane was going to oust the +motor car as a sporting vehicle--everyone was quite certain about that! +Beyond that, nothing! + +To-day everything is completely changed and except as a war machine the +aeroplane is of little interest or use to anyone. A few civilian +aviators are still flying, but in practically every case they are doing +so in connection with the business aspect of the question. There is no +"sport of aviation" such as the prophets foretold a few years ago. + +An increasing number of people obtain their pilot certificates and lists +of these are still given, although the title of "aviator" is in the bulk +of cases somewhat of a courtesy one, since so few keep on flying once +they have secured their brevets. + +It is as a _war machine_ that the aeroplane has come into its own. The +Italian aeroplanes over and over again proved their utility in Tripoli. +Although in the Balkan War aircraft were less in evidence than many +expected, this may be attributed to the peculiar circumstances of the +campaign and also to the scarcity of available machines. + +Every country is now engaged in forming its aerial fleets. How far the +naval and military branches will coalesce, or how far they will +differentiate remains to be seen. The probabilities, at present, all +point in the latter direction, and that just as an army is made up of +cavalry, infantry, artillery, etc., and a navy of battleships, cruisers, +torpedo craft and submarines, so the sky fleets seem destined to consist +of groups of different types of machines, each type designed for some +special purpose. + +The increased war utility of aircraft has necessitated an extension of +the pages devoted to organisation of military aviation, etc. The details +given are by no means as full as I could wish; but all organisations are +being so continually changed owing to increased experience that +satisfactory data are not very easy to come by. + +During the past twelve months or so we have learned at least one or two +important things. The mere fact of the possession of aeroplanes by a +nation is a military factor of comparatively little importance. A nation +possessing next to no aeroplanes can easily acquire a few hundreds in +case of emergency _if she has the people to build them_. The real +problem is two-fold. First, of course, is the possession of trained and +efficient aviators to fly the machines. Naval and military officers who +have merely secured their brevets at a flying school are of no immediate +value; civilians of the same kind are of still less utility. + +Second to this is the productive capacity of any country; which may +roughly be gauged from the number and importance of its firms engaged in +construction. + +These points cannot too strongly be enforced. The air strength of any +nation in case of war resides in its efficient flying men and in its own +productive capacity. The next war will see aircraft quite as much +"contraband" as warships, and the nation which relies upon aerial +imports will be foredoomed at once. One month is probably the utmost +effective life of an aeroplane on hard active service and it may well be +a good deal less. And firms capable of building efficient machines +cannot be improvised. + +A remarkable feature of the last twelve months has been the +recrudescence of the dirigible, which is now in far greater esteem than +it was a year ago, or for that matter, ever before. In the past there is +no doubt that progress was hampered by arguments between the advocates +of "heavier than air" and "lighter than air," and a curious notion that +the one could only exist at the expense of the other. + +Such ideas are now dead, and it is recognised that for war purposes both +have their uses and that both are interdependent. It is not quite yet +realised how intense this interdependence is likely to be. + +Briefly the present situation may be summed up as follows: the dirigible +has enormous potentialities for attack on fortified bases and the like, +but its powers of defence, guns or no guns, are very slight. A single +aeroplane should be able to disable or destroy without very great +difficulty the finest dirigible yet built (supposing it able to find the +airship in the vastness of the air). The damage that a single aeroplane +can do to land defences or ships is, however, entirely trivial--at any +rate at present. + +Hence the aerial war unit already formed in Germany, and likely to be in +existence everywhere else ere another year or so has passed. This unit +is a dirigible of great offensive powers, associated with a number of +aeroplanes presumably intended to defend it and ward off and defeat +attack by hostile aeroplanes. + +This is merely the crude beginning, it seems reasonably safe to prophecy +that in the early future the aerial war-unit will be made up somewhat as +follows:-- + + (_a_) An offensive dirigible, carrying the maximum of bombs, etc. + + (_b_) One or two dirigibles carrying oil and petrol for the + aeroplanes--possibly capable of dealing with all minor repairs and + of carrying a certain number of aeroplanes on board. + + (_c_) A number of war aeroplanes specially designed for fighting other + aeroplanes and attacking hostile dirigibles as chances may occur. + + (_d_) A few very swift one man aeroplanes which will be the eyes of + the unit. + +This seems an early certainty. After all it merely reproduces for the +air what centuries of experience have shewn to be essential for fleets +and armies. + +The matter is a fascinating subject for speculation; but in connection +with a work that exists merely to deal with things as they are at +present, is perhaps, better not now pursued further. One point, however, +may perhaps be mentioned, and that is that victory or defeat in aerial +warfare seems likely to depend upon which side can first destroy the +other's bases. A base-less dirigible will not live long. This is likely +to lead to very great attention being paid at an early date to +anti-aircraft guns and other devices for the defence of aerial bases. + +Reverting to the arrangement of the present edition, a few words may be +said about some of the changes. As stated last year the clumsy old +system of grouping monoplanes, biplanes, etc., separately has been +abolished. So many firms specialise in both that any such grouping could +only lead to confusion. + +A tabular system has been generally adopted for most new matter. This +will be found far more convenient for reference, and of course, saves a +great deal of space. + +The effective age of aeroplanes is somewhat of a vexed question, for +while one year probably represents the really effective war utility +endurance, even in peace time, school life is more or less indefinite +and so is ordinary private life. Consequently--although "dead machines" +are excluded it has not been possible to draw an exactly uniform age +limit line beyond that. Speaking generally modern machines represent as +a rule detail improvements rather than the complete changes of the past. +For example, the gap between 1911 and 1913, is far less than the gap +between 1909 and 1911. This fact is beginning to make itself felt in war +machines. + +In Part B an attempt has been made to collect illustrations of +aeroplanes of the past which for one reason or another possess an +historical interest. This section is remarkable for two totally +different things (1) the early anticipations of some modern practice, +and (2) the past prevalence of certain other ideas which are now totally +extinct. + +Part C deals with aero-engines. It is mainly remarkable--in comparison +with past issues--for the large number of engines which have ceased to +exist. It is probably still too ample; as a year hence quite half the +makers still recorded are likely to disappear. The mere ability to +construct motor car engines is no longer of value. The aeroplane engine +designer needs to be a specialist. The absolutely ideal aero-engine no +doubt yet remains to be produced; but meanwhile the tendency of users to +concentrate upon fewer makes is increasingly evident, despite the fact +that the best engine for one particular type of machine is not +necessarily the best for some other type. + +In conclusion I tender my most grateful thanks to all those who have so +kindly collaborated with or for me in the various sections. The book is +still some way from being near my ideal, but I have every hope that this +edition will be generally considered a very considerable improvement +upon previous issues. + + FRED T.

One of the objects is the perfection of the +Austrian machines and factories. + +About the same date, Pola was selected as a naval aviation school, and +two _Paulhan-Curtiss_ hydro-avions purchased. + +In August the record making _Lohner_ was purchased for the Army. + +During September Captain Odolek tested before the military authorities a +parachute of his invention; and a number were ordered. + +In October very strict regulations were issued as to aircraft flying +over prohibited areas, a rule that any offenders would be shot at was +subsequently modified. + +In November a _Donnet-Lerêque_ was purchased for the Navy and another +ordered at the Whitehead Works, Fiume. + + +~Army Section.~ + +At the end of 1911 the Army possessed 4 monoplanes and one biplane (a +_Lohner_), now available for school work. + +During 1912 there were acquired:-- + +~20 monoplanes.~--1 _Bleriot_, 2 _Nieuport_, 15 _Etrich-Taube_, 1 +_Etrich_ limousine, 1 _Deperdussin_. + +~6 biplanes.~--4 _Lohner-Daimler_, 1 _Mars_, 1 _Klobucar_, (of the above +the 2 _Nieuports_, 1 _Etrich_ limousine and the 4 _Lohners_ were the +only ones built in Austria). + + +~Naval Section.~ + +~4 hydro-avions~ were acquired during 1912; 2 _Donnet-Levêque_ and 2 +_Paulhan-Curtiss_. + + +~Military Pilots.~ + + Banfield, Ob.

Both motors can be coupled either on to the front propeller +or on to the two rear propellers, or on to all three together, but they +are actually intended only to drive the front one. On stopping either +motor the other is connected to the two rear propellers, which are +designed for a slower speed of translation than the front one, with the +result that the running motor does not find itself overloaded as it +would if the same propeller had to serve both for one and for two +motors. + + + + + +BRAZILIAN. + + +~AVIATORS.~ + +Garos, Queiroz, Robert, Henri, Santos-Dumont, Versepuiz. + + +There are possibly one to two aeroplanes in Brazil, but the well-known +aviators live in France.

UAS.] + + +HANDLEY-PAGE Monoplanes. Handley Page, 72, Victoria Street, S.W. Works: +110, Cricklewood Lane, N.W. Flying ground: Hendon. Established at the +end of 1908. In June, 1909, it was turned into a Limited Liability Co. +Since then it has been busily employed in producing its own machines, +also others to inventor's specifications. About the end of 1911 the firm +bought up and sold all the machines of the Aeronautical +Syndicate--_Valkyrie_ and _Viking_ types. It is doubtful whether any of +these V type still exist--in any case it does not matter. Four were +presented to the R. Flying Corps. Of these one was smashed up, the +others, one army and two navy, were used to teach mechanics to take down +and re-assemble engines, etc. Handley-Page also bought up the +_Radley-Moorhouse_ machines (Bleriot copies), and disposed of them. + +The 1912-13 _Handley-Page_ type is as follows--a development along +regular lines of the original H.P. machine:-- + +[Illustration: Handley-Page V.] + +~Length,~ 27-1/2 feet (8.40 m.) ~span,~ 42-1/2 feet (12.95 m.) ~area,~ +240 sq. feet.

Full description and details, _Flight_, 26th +October, 1912. + +Principal pilots have been the late E. Petre (who made in it the only +flight through London), the late Lieut. Parke, R.N., S. Pickles, and L. +R. Whitehouse. The machine has been flown with two passengers, in +addition to the pilot. + +~Military work.~--During 1912 five biplanes of the _B.E._ type were +ordered by the British War Office.

The principal school is at St. Cyr, which was +specially selected because the ground is rough and mostly covered with +small shrubs: it being held important to train officers from the first +to rise and land on ground similar to that most likely to be found in +war time. Each station is supplied with large portable wooden-framed +hangars covered with canvas. These can be rapidly taken to pieces and +re-erected. Each station is supplied with its own special motor +transport. + +All military machines are provided with a compass and map case in front +of the pilot and sketching apparatus in front of the observer. + +Although a few non-commissioned officers have been taught flying, the +organization only contemplates the employment of commissioned officers +as pilots. The age limit is 38. + +On April 16th, 1913, the flying corps was modified. The principal +features of the corps as now existing are as follows:-- + + +~Establishments.~ + +1. Schools. + +2. Special establishments, dealing with purchase, construction, and big +repairs. + +3. _Directions._ Administration of _material_. + +4. Depots. A species of dockyards dealing with minor repairs, etc. + + +~Administration.~ + +There are three main groups, each commanded by a colonel. Each group +consists of dirigibles and aeroplane "escadrilles," and is fully +equipped with establishments, etc. The three centres are:-- + +1. Versailles. + +2. Reims. + +3. Lyon. + + +~General.~ + +All squadron units are made up of machines of the same make and power. +Pilots are detailed as required to any particular unit, and liable to +transfer from one to another, though in practice such transfers are +rare. + + +~Army Aeroplanes.~ + +During 1912 nearly 500 machines were delivered to the Army, but a great +many old machines have been scrapped. At the end of March, 1913, the +force stood at 421 effective for war machines, plus an uncertain number +of school machines and obsoletes. + +About one-third or more of the effective aeroplanes were _Farmans_. The +rest consisted of all leading French types, proportionated more or less +to the productive capacity of these firms. Also certain other makes +experimental. + + +~Navy Aviation.~ + +The Navy section of French military aviation is still in the "being +formed" process. No data are yet available as to the ultimate force to +be provided. At present the number of effective war machines is small. +It is made up of hydro-avions of the following types:--_Astra_, _Borel_, +_Breguet_, _Caudron_, _Deperdussin_, _Donnet-Leveque_, _Farman_, +_Paulhan-Curtiss_, _Sanchez-Besa_, the total at end of March, 1913, +being well under 20. There are also two special _Bleriot_ type fitted +with floats, which carry 330 lbs of explosive, are fitted with wireless, +have a speed of 140 km.p.h. (85 m.p.h.), and a radius of about 600 miles +(1,000 km.) + + +~PRINCIPAL FRENCH ARMY AND NAVY AVIATORS.~ + +(In each case the number against each name is, unless otherwise stated, +the Ae. C.

The backward and forward movement of the entire system +operates the elevator: the sideway movement warps the rear edge of the +upper wings, and the rotation of the wheel steers the machine. The +latter operation also governs the front wheel of the landing chassis, so +that when on the ground the machine can be steered like a motor car. + +~Portability.~--The main planes can be folded alongside of the fuselage. +The machine can then be towed on any ordinary road, or be housed in +places such as farm buildings, stables, &c. + +[Illustration: Aerhydroplane, 1913-14.] + +[Illustration: BREGUET.

All 1913 machines designed to carry one or +in some cases two mitrailleuse, and special attention is paid to +facility for taking down for transport and re-assembling. The 1911-12 +_H. Farmans_ had elevators forward, were a good deal longer, and had +more surface than 1913 models. Ailerons not inter-connected. The _M. +Farmans_ generally as now, except that all planes, etc., had rounded +edges. On September 11th, 1912, Foury, in an _M. Farman_ military, made +world's endurance record to date, 13 hrs. 22 min., covering 631 miles +(1,017 km.) All models of this type, also the "big military," are fitted +with the Doutre stabiliser.

Horizontal steering by means of 2 vertical +rudders placed one on each side of the rear horizontal rudder. + +Remarks.--The feature of this _C.B._ type, which distinguishes it from +the Astra ships of about the same size, is the arrangement of the +propellers and the use of a 2 speed gear in connection with these. +Normally each motor drives its own propeller through two sets of gearing +connected by a Cardan shaft. On stopping one motor, the stopped motor is +unclutched from its propeller shaft, which is then connected up by chain +drive to the opposite shaft. The running motor is then put on to a "low +gear," so that it can make the revolutions necessary for obtaining full +power, while the propellers run slower than before. The ratio of "low +gear" to "high" is 2 to 1, so that a single motor will be running under +its best conditions when well throttled down. + +A sister, _C.

Major Von Parseval's +first airship was selected, and since that time the above company has +confined itself to improving this type, and to making exhaustive and +costly researches, all of which have been embodied in successive ships. + +The characteristic feature of every one of these craft is its unequalled +portability. Almost all other so-called Non-rigid vessels distribute the +load by means of a long girder which also serves as a car. This girder +is awkward to pack up and transport. Parseval uses a comparatively small +car, and distributes the weight by hanging it further below the balloon +than usual, and also by using 2 ballonets which are placed one near each +end of the gas bag. + +These 2 ballonets enable the ship to be trimmed by merely pumping air +into either at the expense of the other. + +Another essential feature of the type is the system by which the valves +are worked automatically. At the present time there is no other system +of valve working so reliable as this. + +A third essential feature of the class is the use of a swinging car, in +such a manner that pitching, due to alterations of propeller thrust, is +automatically checked by an alteration of the position of the centre of +gravity. + +A fourth feature is the use of limp propeller blades. A propeller of +this type is very easily packed up. + +The shape of these vessels is in accordance with the experiments of +Professor Prandtl. + +Ships of this class built or building (figures supplied by the Parseval Co.):-- + + EXPERIMENTAL PARSEVAL 2,300 m³. + P.

The +propeller is similar to that of _P.L. 2_. The car also is mounted on +wire runners. She was originally 4,000 m³. capacity. Built 1908. +Station: Bitterfeld.

The hull is built of +special 3-ply wood made of Russian white fir; this wood is pressed into +channel bars, angle bars, and all other requisite shapes. The strength +of the hull is such that it can be supported at the ends without damage; +its lightness is such that although the ship is nearly half as large +again as _Zeppelin II_, yet the hull weighs about 3 tons less. Designed +by Prof. Schütte. + +In 1910, structural defects were found in _Schütte I_ when the loads +were applied. This has necessitated extensive alterations and much +delay.

In July, 1912, +it was re-organised along the following lines:-- + + 1 command at Turin. + 1 flying work. + 1 technical work. + 2 troop duty. + 6 at the aviation schools, with a certain number of mobile squadrillos. + +The recognised grades are:-- + + _a.a.p._ aspirante allievo (learners). + _a.p._ allievo pilota (certificated pilots). + _p._ pilota militare (superior military brevet). + +In flying work the superior pilots are mostly using _Bleriots_; the +ordinary pilots _Bleriot-Caproni_, _Bristol_, _Antonis_, _Deperdussins_ +and _Voisins_. + +The technical section chiefly supervises the theoretical instruction of +the _a.a.p._ + +The 2 companies on troop duty practical work, preparation for the +schools. + + +~FLYING SCHOOLS.~ + +The military schools are:-- + + ~Aviano.~--Central school. Size about 5×2 kilometres. Sheltered + from all winds except westerly, by banks of trees. Numerous + hangers. + + ~Mirafiori (Turin).~--Mixed military and civil school. Hangers. + School machines confined to _Asteria_, _Bleriot_, _Nieuport_ and + _Savary_ types. + + ~Pordenone.~--School for superior brevets.

At present for + officers trained in France. + + ~Somma Lombarda.~--Camp school for _Nieuports_. + + ~Venaria Reale.~--Formed late in 1912. _Bristol_ monos for + certificated pilots. + + +~GENERAL TRAINING.~ + +50 officers in training during the first quarter of 1913. + +Aspirants commence with instruction in the theory of heavier than air +machines, resistance of material and particular instruction in the +various type of aero motors in use. They are taken for flights as +passengers. + +All then go to the training camp about 80% for monoplane work, the +remainder for biplanes. + +Monoplanes. Special attention paid to teaching _Gauchis Dessent_. + +Biplanes. Much shorter course. Principal feature: _Vol Plané_. + +For the _military brevet_ the examination is most comprehensive, special +attention is paid to flying in wind, manoeuvring, climbing, good +landings without inconvenience to passengers, cross country flights, +etc. The course is generally modelled on war experiences. + + +~TOTAL FLYING STRENGTH.~ + +No particular distinction between naval and military aviators. + +Total by end of June, 1913, to be about 225 certificated aviators of +whom a fair percentage hold the superior brevet. In addition all the +best civilian aviators are held at disposal. + + +~Military Aeroplanes.~ + +At the end of 1911 there were about 20 machines, mostly _Bleriots_ and +_Farmans_. The majority of these are still in use for school purposes. + +At the end of March, 1913, the machines effective for war purposes were +roughly as follows:-- + + _Bleriot._ } + _Bristol_ (mono.) } + _Caproni._ } + _Deperdussin._ } Total _about_ 50, plus a number + _Farman._ } of school machines. + _Hanriot._ } + _Nieuport._ } + _Savary._ } + +About 40 machines were on order, including 12 _Bristol-Capronies_. + + +~Naval Aeroplanes.~ + +Effective at end of March, 1913. + + 1 _Calderara_. + 1 _Guidoni-Farman_. + 4 or 5 others. + + +~ITALIAN AVIATORS.~ + +Military. + + Agostoni, Capt.

Modified; it flew very well indeed at Aspern, June, +1912. The 1912 model is of entirely novel type, a tail first monoplane +with a propeller either end of the main planes, and a triangular tail +aft. Principal details are:--~Length~, 34-2/3 feet (10.50 m.) ~Span~, 30 +feet (9.15 m.) ~Height~, 12 feet (3.65 m.) Wing frame in three sections +with gap between. ~Motor~, 50 h.p., Gnome chain driven. ~Fuselage~, old +style; landing chassis on three wheels only, with a single ash skid in +front. Covered in engine driving the 31 foot propeller shaft for the 2 +propellers. Rear tail consists of 2 fixed planes, a triangular damping +plane and a triangular keel plane. Forward, an elevator and two +semi-circular rudders (double faced). From this combination remarkable +results are achieved, and all gyrostatic effect from the propellers +eliminated. _Control_, horizontal wheel on column. Elevator depressed or +otherwise by action on column. Note.--At Vienna, 1912, this machine took +first prize for the smallest circle and also for accurate bomb-dropping. +The original machine was purchased by the Roumanian Army. + + + + +RUSSIAN. + + +~General Note.~--In the number of military machines and general +attention to aviation Russia is only second to France.

Naval purchase of several _Curtiss_ hydro-avions after + trials at Sevastopol. + +At the end of March, 1913, the approximate effective force was as +follows (all hydros, or capable of being so fitted): 1 _Astra_, 1 +_Breguet_, 2 _Donnet-Leveque_, 1 _Farman_, 4 _Paulhan Curtiss_, 2 +_Nieuport_ (50 h.p.), 1 _Sikorsky_. (A number of others on order.) + +Early in 1913 experiments were carried out with a combination of floats +and skids, invented by M. Lobanoff, of Moscow.

Though some small dirigibles +exist, American attention is mainly devoted to aeroplanes. Ballooning +was quite the thing in 1907-11, but has languished. + +It is stated that there are certainly no less than _two thousand_ people +in the U. S. A. who have built flying machines. The greater percentage +of these have been home-made copies of standard machines. Individual +builders of copies and freaks have diminished greatly in numbers, and +there remains a few well-established manufacturers. + +Although inventors are still prolific in the Patent Office and clubs +numerous, the general public takes very slight intelligent interest in +aviation. The majority of clubs are inactive. + +In the year 1912 commercial development seemed to have great +possibilities. The copyists were being weeded out and competent +aeronautical constructors financed by adequate means began operations on +systematic business lines. The latter half of the year saw a great +slump. In the spring of 1913 prospects looked greatly improved, and +there was generally increased activity. + + +~Aerial Journals:~-- + + ~Aeronautics.~--122, East 25th Street, New York.

S. A. AERO CLUBS.~ + +An attempt has been made here to give the name of every aero club that +has been formed recently in the United States, or has been in existence +for a long time. It is believed this list covers every club in the +United States. + +Many of these clubs are nothing but a name. They were formed to conduct +meets or exhibitions, given by the various aeroplane concerns engaged in +this business. Many clubs are not incorporated. Others have no +organisation, being run by principals of boys' schools or classes. + +Clubs even affiliated with the Aero Club of America have no members' +meetings, nor have they in many cases even meeting rooms. There are but +a half-dozen live aero clubs worthy the name in America. Three clubs own +balloons, which are rented to members for ascensions. Little attempt is +made by more than one or two associations to popularise aeronautics, to +encourage experimenters, or to indulge in scientific work. + +The Aero Club of America, the Aeronautical Society and Aero Club of +Illinois, are the principal organisations. The Ae. C. represents the +F.A.I., and has a beautiful club house. The Aeronautical Society has +rooms in the United Engineering Building, conducts well-attended +lectures twice a month, and has grounds on Straten Island (for +hydro-aeroplanes and aeroplanes). + +Clubs affiliated with the Ae.

Curtiss Aeroplane Co., Hammondsport, N.Y. Glenn H. Curtiss in +1907 and 1908 was a member of the Aerial Experiment Association, formed +by Dr. and Mrs. Alexander Graham Bell. This Association built four +machines, each along the lines of one of the four engineers belong to +the Association, F. W. Baldwin, Lieut. T. E. Selfridge, G. H. Curtiss +and J. A. D. McCurdy. The last built was the _June Bug_, designed by +Curtiss and was the most successful. In the spring of 1908, the +Association was disbanded and The Aeronautical Society gave Curtiss an +order for an aeroplane with _carte blanche_ as to design. He produced a +4 cyl. machine, Curtiss engine, and flew it. A duplicate was hurriedly +built, 8 cyl. engine installed, and taken to Europe for the first Gordon +Bennett, which he won. Returning, the same type was continued with minor +improvements. Later the front elevator was brought closer in, finally +discarded, and the fan tail adopted and this remains the standard land +machine to-day. In April, a military tractor was built and flown. + +On January 26th, 1911, first successful flights were made with a +hydroaeroplane, at the Winter camp at San Diego, Calif. This had two +floats tandem. One was finally adopted and great success was achieved, +and remains standard at the present time. With this machine various +experiments were made. It was altered in a tractor for one occasion, it +was lifted on board warships; made into triplane, etc. + +In 1912 he brought out his present type of flying boat. This is being +rapidly developed and minor changes in details are made in practically +every machine put out. + +In May, 1913, he produced a special 4-passenger flying boat for a +customer on special order. + +Note.--In addition to those tabulated, special small racing machines +have been built, as well as similar machines with extra sections simply +added either side for Army use. + + ---------------------------+--------------------+----------------------+-------------------- + Model and date. | ~Type D.~ | ~Type E.~ | ~Type F.~ + | ~1913.~ | ~1913.~ | ~1913.~ + ---------------------------+--------------------+----------------------+-------------------- + ~Length~ feet (m.)| 26-2/3 (8.10) | 27-1/3 (8.33) | 27-1/3 (8.33) + ~Span~ feet (m.)| 26-1/4 (8) | 31-1/4 (9.50) | 38-1/3 (11.70) + ~Overall~ feet (m.)| 33-1/12 (10) | 36-1/4 (11) | 41-2/3 (12.70) + ~Area~ sq. feet (m².)| 214 (19-1/2) | 288 (26-1/4) | 421-1/2 (39) + {total lbs.

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2.

YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4.

Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact +information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official +page at https://pglaf.org + +For additional contact information: + Dr. Gregory B. Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
