Sir George Cayley's article "Practical remarks on aerial navigation" cut from the March 4, 1837 issue of Mechanics' Magazine. Cayley's fourth published article, it contained several ideas which proved to be prophetic for the later development of the airplane. An accompanying illustration of his navigable balloon is pasted on the first page. Two additional illustrations are separated from these pages (see VBI_000408).For more information about this item, visit https://archivesspace.mit.edu/repositories/2/digital_objects/756
