This
term
is
not
usually
used
with
reference
to
incidence
wires,
although
they
cross
diagonally
the
side
bays
of
the
cell.
It
should
be
stated
whether
right-
or
left-hand.
[48]

the

wound
spirally
or
tied
round
another

and
attached
at

to
the
framework.
Used
to
prevent
the
wire
round

it
is
"snaked"
from
becoming,
in
the
event
of
its
displacement,
entangled
with
the
propeller.
=Wire,
Locking=--A
wire
used

=Wing=--Strictly
speaking,
a
wing
is
one
of
the
surfaces
of
an
ornithopter.
The
term
is,
however,
often
applied
to
the
lifting
surface
of
an
aeroplane
when
such
surface
is
divided
into
two
parts,
one
being
the
left-hand
"wing,"
and
the
other
the
right-hand
"wing."
