Diary
[7 August 1901 - Wilbur Wright Diary, Kill Devil
Hills, NC]
[Page 31]
Spent week in reconstructing front edge of machine and in experiment of
lift & drift. Found drift or head resistance of framing reduced some
three pounds as result of changes. Speed 18 miles per hour. As we had
previously estimated this at 8 or 9 lbs., the new measurement brings it
down to less than 6 lbs.
