matter ef personally attempting flight would be the question of steering. There are several things in a beginner's mind when he considers leaving the earth t a machine, chief among them being how best to get back again in safety to th* soil. Will he have to operate several levers when he le above the reach of human help? If. as In the Bleriot monoplane, the steerfng is done by a wheel, are the things that that wneel doe* hard The Wright brothers to memorise? operate levers; Curtiss uses a wheel, but he does not attempt to do so many trleka with it as the Bliriot operator does.
