AUTOGIRO

Produced by Pathe and re-edited in 1936 for this series. E. D. Rice, head of the autogiro company, explains the basic principle of this invention: what keeps the plane aloft, how the blades turn automatically to exert a lifting force, how gravity keeps the blades in position, how they are hinged, why they do not fold up like an umbrella. Then a flying autogiro takes the jumps on a race-track at eight miles an hour, and lingers aloft.
