When children come into the library we put the inkstand and the watch on the high shelf until they be a little older." About the year 1870 a young German engineer, named Otto Lilienthal, began some experiments with a motorless glider, which in course of time were to make him world-famed.
"Everything go all right?" the little man said anxiously. "I don't know," Joe said. "I still couldn't tell them the story. Old Cogswell is as quick as a coyote. We pull this little caper today, and he'll be ready to meet it tomorrow." He looked at the two-place sailplane which sat on the tarmac. "Everything all set?" "Far as I know," Max said. He looked at the motorless aircraft.
He had been staring in dismay at the Sov officer, now was relieved that Joe had evidently pulled it off. Joe waved to the plane ahead. Two mechanics had come up to steady the wings for the initial ten or fifteen feet of the motorless craft's passage over the ground behind the towing craft.
Supposing the second miscarries and you don't get bored?" "Well, then I think usually there is an awful moment when I have to tell her I can't afford both a motor and a wife; and to be motorless would kill me." A sudden little twitching at the corners made Lorraine's mouth dangerously fascinating.
Hitherto, as we have seen, they had made numerous tests with motorless gliders; but though these tests gave them much valuable information concerning the best methods of keeping their craft on an even keel while in the air, they could never hope to make much progress in practical flight until they adopted motor power which would propel the machine through the air.
