Excerpt from The Schlomann Series of Illustrated Technical Dictionaries in Six Languages: English, German, French, Russian, Italian, Spanish, Vol. 10: Motor Vehicles (Motor Cars, Motor Boats, Motor Airships, Flying Machines) As the handling of motor airships is, to a certain extent, intimately connected with the manipulation of Kite Balloons (also known as Cody Kites in England), we have devoted an Appendix to the most vital and essential expressions employed in connection with the manoeuvring of Kite Balloons.
