And Dr. Bagby walked away, apparently much discouraged about life. Carl was not discouraged about life. He swore that now he would be an aviator even if he had to go to Dayton or Hammondsport or France. He returned to Oakland. He sold his share in the garage for $1,150. Before the end of January he was enrolled as a student in the Bagby School of Aviation and Monoplane Building.
Aeroplanes have been constructed for the most part in Europe, especially in France. There may be said to be only one factory in America, that of Herring-Curtiss, at Hammondsport, N.Y., as the Wright place at Dayton is very small and only turns out motors and experimenting machines, and cannot be called a regular factory. The Wright machines are now manufactured by a French syndicate.
As an agent in time of war it would be more important than fort or warship. The experiments of Curtiss, made a short time ago over Lake Keuka at Hammondsport, N.Y., prove what a mighty factor would have to be reckoned with in the martial aeroplane. Curtiss without any practice at all hit a mimic battle ship fifteen times out of twenty-two shots.
Curtiss completed this, and had the machine ready on the shores of Lake Keuka, Hammondsport, N.Y., by May.
Social amenities might wait; at present he was tasting the joys of a victorious Caesar. "BRIGGS, Bayard Newlyn, Hammondsport, Ill., I L, H 24." That's the way the catalogue put it. Mostly, though, he was called "Bi" Briggs. He was six feet and one inch tall and weighed one hundred and ninety-four pounds, and was built by an all-wise Providence to play guard.
NC is a fraternity badge signifying equal honors. Curtiss, in 1900, was like the Wrights the owner of a small bicycle shop. It was at Hammondsport, New York. He was an enthusiastic cyclist, and speed was a mania with him. He evolved a motor cycle with which he broke all records for speed over the ground. He started a factory and achieved a reputation for excellent motors.
