~Landing chassis.~--C consists of three wheels each protected by skids.
The two main wheels, placed on either side of the centre of gravity, are
fitted with patent "Oleopneumatic" shock absorbers. The steering wheel
and the front skid have a spring suspension.
~Military machines.~--The 1912 sales of these were:--32 to France; 5
British; 3 Italian; 1 Swedish.
~Steering.~--The patented control system consists of a wheel mounted on
a pivoted lever. 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.
