WRIGHTS (the) (Orville and Wilbur), 7 Hawthorn Street, Dayton, Ohio, U.S.A. Chevs. Leg. d'Hon. In 1896 the Brothers Wright began to study aerial flight. In 1900 they were making glides. In 1903 they first fitted a motor, and on December 17th of that year made a power flight of about 250 yards. Reports of this were received with incredulity, and right up to July, 1908, when Wilbur Wright appeared in France, many people still regarded the Wrights as a myth. Wilbur Wright easily beat the French machines in circling, etc. He won the Michelin Cup, being up 2 h. 20 m. 23-1/3 sec. Distance 76-1/2 miles official record. Actual, estimated at 93 miles. The exploits of Wilbur Wright put aviation on quite a new footing. Since 1908 the _Wright_ type has been surpassed by others; but to the Wrights will always belong the credit of having made a decided step in the science. Wilbur died of typhoid, 1911. WYNMALEN (Henri). Dutch. Reached 9,121 feet in a _Farman_ in 1910, and was then compelled to descend because after 8,000 feet blood oozed from his finger nails and lips. Ae.C.F. pilot 208, 27th August, 1910. Has made many famous flights. ZENS (Ernest), 3 Rue la Boetie, Paris. Born 1878. Pioneer aviator. On committee of Ae. C. F. First passenger in an aeroplane (carried by Wilbur Wright, 6th September, 1908). Built a monoplane, 1912. ZEPPELIN (Count). The first Zeppelin dirigible was tried in 1900 on Lake Constance. It made a small speed against a 12-16 m.p.h. wind. It also circled. The experiments exhausted the Count's resources until 1905. Details of this and later _Zeppelins_ will be found on the German dirigible pages in Part A. ~CARBURETTERS.~ ~AUSTRIAN-HUNGARIAN.~ DENES FRIEDMANN, 11 Mitterbergasse, Vienna, XVIII. ~BELGIAN.~ DASSE (G.), 49 Rue David, Verviers FAGARD (J.) & Cie, 7 Rue Bouille, Liege, (_Sthenos_). ~BRITISH.~ BROWN & BARLOW, Ltd., 16 Loveday Street, Birmingham BURGESS (W.
