Extract

Following the publication of my paper “Pilcher and the Multiplane” in the May issue of the Aeronautical Journal, I have had cause to reperuse the various accounts dealing with the operation of the “gust damping” device used by Chanute on his quadruplane and probably adopted by Pilcher for the multiplane.

Referring back to the original patents, which I had read thoroughly during the preparation of the paper, I realised that I had omitted to mention Chanute’s proposal of the deliberate operation of this system as a positive means of control.
