This magnificent flying thing was perhaps among the earliest of its kind, at least according to shape, which as we can see really wasn’t quite a flying saucer,, though it was a flying disk. And a big one, at that. From the ladder that led to the major axle we can infer that the aircraft was at least 60 feet high, which made its disk apparatus a very ferris-wheel-like 40′ or 50′ in diameter. If nothing else, the patent drawings are quite pretty.
