"Hold on everybody," Arcot called. "We're going to turn toward the planet now!" He depressed a small lever there was a sudden shock, and all the space about them seemed to burst into huge, deep-red atomic hydrogen flames. The Solarite reeled under the sudden pressure, but the heavy gyroscopic stabilizers caught it, held it, and the ship remained on an even keel.
The airship with the mercury stabilizers was nearly completed. But a few touches remained to be put on her, to make her, according to Larson, ready for the flight across the continent. "I presume you will go with me when me make the first ascent; will you not?" the lieutenant inquired. "Who, me? No, I don't reckon I'll go up first," said Uncle Ezra slowly.
You are now to increase the height of flying, and this involves also the ability to turn in the opposite direction, so that you may be able to experience the sensation of using the stabilizers in the opposite direction. You will find in this practice that the senses must take in the course of the wind from two quarters now, as you attempt to describe the figure 8.
"Particularly my Uncle Ezra." Had he but known it, Mr. Larabee, in his airship with Larson and the army man, was following close after him. For really the big biplane, with the mercury stabilizers, which Larson had constructed, was a fine craft, and capable. That Larson had cheated Mr. Larabee out of considerable money in the building had nothing to do with the working of the apparatus.
Thus, while the hope of wealth in one form or another was a factor in the settlement of Virginia, a prerequisite to attainment, also taken into account by the promoters of expeditions, was the establishment of homes in a new land. Homes would serve as stabilizers for permanent bases, from which could be carried on the trade essential to England's rising position as a leading power.
"But I can remedy that with the use of some of dad's gyroscope stabilizers," he told Mr. Damon. They returned to the hangar safely, and the first trip of the new Silent Sam was an assured success. It was the following day, when Tom was busy in the machine shop installing the gyroscopes spoken of, that Jackson came to tell him there was a visitor to see him. "Who is it?" asked the young inventor.
The other airship was. The broken plane gave no support on that side, and as the motor still raced on, whirling the big propellers, the Larabee, unevenly balanced, in spite of the mercury stabilizers, tilted to one side. Then, a hopeless wreck, she turned over and plunged downward toward the earth. Her race was over. For a moment those aboard Dick's airship uttered not a sound.
You will notice on this drawing that strong piano-wires connect the instruments with all the necessary controlling planes of the machine." "Instruments?" interrogated Mr. Giddings. "I thought there was but one." "No; there are two stabilizers, as you will see, here, and here," was Paul's response, pointing his finger to the parts.
"Greg Goodloe's great great grandfather and mine fought off the Indians from a stockade which stood where his chapel does now, but a year of modern life about represents a generation of pioneer endeavor." "Not too fast, youngster, not too fast," said Mr. Jeffries, and I saw him exchange a grave glance with father. "What we Americans must have is stabilizers now that we have annihilated time.
Of course it was nothing like Dick's, and, after all, the former army man was more interested in his stabilizers than he was in the airship itself. But he had to build it right and properly to give his patent a good test, and he used his best ideas on the subject.
