| June 2012 Pic of the Month Sixth in a Series: Wright Cycle Shop |
|
The Wrights’ drill press, band saw, and lathe (far right) occupy the back part of the cycle shop. Behind them is a replica of part of the framing for the 1903 Flyer. Wilbur and Orville built the components for their airplanes in the shop—but the planes themselves were too big to fully assemble there. Instead, the parts were shipped out as “kits” that the brothers put together wherever they were doing their flying. THF.74904 |
