A NEW BIPLANE - The above photograph depicts an original biplane, which is the production of a new French firm, the Societe Rossel-Peugeot, M. Frederic Rossel, the favourite assistant of Ader, having joined MM. Peugeot Freres. The machine has many distinguishing features, notably, the absence of a front elevator, the driving of the propellers, and the arrangement of the twin rudders between the planes of the tail. The propellers are driven through bevel gearing from a transverse-shaft, which, in its turn, is driven by a chain from the twin-cylinder engine. The framework of the aeroplane, it will be noticed, is of bamboo.
