The Aeroplane Speaks. Fifth Edition
·
H. Barber
37
And
on
his
right
is
the
brightness
of
the
morn
and
the
smiling
Earth
unveiling
itself
to
the
ardent
rays
of
the
Sun;
and
on
his
left,
so
high
is
he,
there
is
yet
black
night,
hiding
innumerable
Cities,
Towns,
villages,
and
all
those
places
where
soon
teeming
multitudes
of
men
shall
awake,
and
by
their
unceasing
toil
and
the
spirit
within
them
produce
marvels
of
which
the
Aeroplane
is
but
the
harbinger.
And
the
Pilot's
soul
is
refreshed,
and
his
vision,
now
exalted,
sees
the
Earth
a
very
garden,
even
as
it
appears
at
that
height,
with
discord
banished
and
a
happy
time
come,
when
the
Designer
shall
have
at
last
captured
Efficiency,
and
the
Man-who-takes-the-credit
is
he
who
has
earned
it,
and
when
kisses
are
the
only
things
that
go
by
favour.
Now
the
Pilot
anxiously
scans
the
Barograph,
which
is
an
instrument
much
the
same
as
the
Altimeter;
but
in
this
case
the
expansion
of
the
vacuum
box
causes
a
pen
to
trace
a
line
upon
a
roll
of
paper.
This
paper
is
made
by
clockwork
to
pass
over
the
point
of
the
pen,
and
so
a
curved
line
is
made
which
accurately
registers
the
speed
of
the
ascent
in
feet
per
minute.
No
longer
is
the
ascent
at
the
rate
of
a
thousand
feet
a
minute,
and
the
Propeller
complains
to
the
Engine,
"I'm
losing
my
Revs.
and
the
Thrust.
Buck
up
with
the
Power,
for
the
Lift
is
decreasing,
though
the
Weight
remains
much
the
same."
