Solid Air Experiments

from George Eastman Museum

• Canardo said:

  Back in those days, all we had was a hammer. In later years we'd drive "screws" into the solid air with one of those newfangled "screwdrivers". And hoo-eeey, once those crank drills came out, we were putting holes in the air like nobody's business. But at the time, this was state-of-the-art.

C.J. Edwards, J.C. Eberhardt, Wm. Hammer, R.J. Collier (LOC)

  Perhaps this is the R.J Collier, owner of Collier magazine and a 1910 Wright "B" aircraft. Reference here: www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=666

• encouragement said:

  This appears to include Dr. J.C. Eberhardt of the Dayton Aeroplane Club. See NY Times article here: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9903E...

• encouragement said:

  All noted parties appear to have affiliations with aeronautical clubs or associations. A significant convention of aeronatical clubs was held in New York City in 1910, though this photo may or may not depict that location or events surrounding it (reference website in comment above). Eberhardt was named specifically in that NY Times article.

• encouragement said:

  This is William J. Hammer, an assoicate of Thomas Edison. He was an electrical engineer and aeronautical enthusiast. Reference here: www.nasm.si.edu/research/arch/findaids/findaid_index.cfm?... and with a photo to compare here: www.nasm.si.edu/research/arch/findaids/pdf/William_J_Hamm...

• encouragement said:

  Could this be C.J. Edwards of "C.J. Edwards and Son" as listed in the "1937 The Aeroplane Directory of the Aviation and Allied Industries"? Reference here: www.gracesguide.co.uk/wiki/C._J._Edwards_and_Son
