Christopher Lake, the Inventor, Make»
Announcement That He Ha» Solved
Problem of Making Flying Safe.
Practical Model of Multiplane Type
Hat Worked Well, It I» Asserted.
Christopher J. Lake lately announced
to the Aero club that he had solved the
problem of making aeroplane* safe and
that he would give a public demon
atratlou of Ills machine in August at
his aerodrome In Bridgeport, Conn.
It Is Impossible, he said, for Ills ma
chine to plunge to the earth, as the
present type of aeroplane so frequently
does, even when the engine stops. It
will glide to the earth slowly and keep
an even keel.
The Inventor Is vice president of the
Lake Torpedo Boat company, manufac
turers of the Lake submarines, and U
father of Simon Lake, the inventor of
the submarine which bears the family
He says that In bis aeroplane
name.
he has applied the same principles
which were used In creating stability
in the submarine and adds that the
/ problems of under water and air navi
gation are much the same.
Has Tried It and It Works.
Mr. Lake has already taken out cer
tain patents fur the new aeroplane,
and others are pending, both in this
country and abroad. Until these pat
ents are assured he is unwilling to de
scribe Just how he has solved the
problem, but be asserts that he has
demonstrated the practical efficiency
of his device with a full size machine
which he has been using at Bridge
port.
If a gust of wind strikes one side
of the Lake machine, its inventor says,
or if one side falls into an "air hole"
the aeroplane nil tip slightly and
then recover its balance of itself. Be
cause of ts ewn ee u t *'Ce°
the new machine presents a broad sur
face to the air continually and comes
down like a parachute, except that It
takes a long glide.
In his experiments with models Mr.
Lake suspended a model from a con
siderable height, bottom upward, and
cut the string. The machine righted
itself, be says, like a cat and glided
down a long air Incline to the earth,
Dropped sideways also, the machine
righted itseif and sailed down safely.
No Need of High Speed.
Mr. Lake places strong emphasis on
the ability of his aeroplane to take
the air and stay In the air at reduced
speeds. The driver of the type of ma
chine now in use bus to have his en
gine going very fast before the plane
will leave the earth at all. Mr. Lake
says that his machine will rise at a
speed of only a few miles an hour—an
easy driving gait. This machine Is of
the hydroaeroplane type and is a
"multi" with the planes arranged like
steife, but his new method will work
Just as well with monoplanes or bi
planes.
COOK STOVES LEFT TO POOR.
Bequeet of $10,000 Fifty-nine Year»
