Thanks for sharing. Charles Taylor was quite the innovator. Many in the aviation world consider him the father of aviation mechanics, and believe the early development of aircraft could have gone a different direction entirely had he not designed and built his light weight aluminum water cooled engine for the Wright brothers.
