Warping the Wrights Planes In Their Secret Workshop
In a July report a vivid scene shows Orville and Wilbur Wright in their workshop as they twist the planes via a warp mechanism, whistling tunes and testing the lever that bends wing edges. Lieut. Labm notes their method while Charley and others work, dreaming of powered flight. A separate note reports a $250,000 lumber mill fire near Wash. on July 6.
