[fOcm; MARCH 9, 1912. THE SHORT MONOPLANE. WfiivN a firm have been so conspicuously and successfully associated with biplane construction as have Messrs. Short Brothers, it is a little difficult to suddenly attune the mind to the idea of a Short monoplane. Difficult or not, however, a monoplane has lately Wsued from those excellent workshops at Eastchurch, and although its design admittedly owes much to a prototype that has served as a basis for more than one successful flyer, it has just as much of the Short originality as have those other typical aircraft with which the firm's name is associated. Strength and solidity, undoubtedly, were the chief points in the minds of the designers in the preparation of this new machine, and these features, too, are precisely those that the whole aviation world expects to see exemplified in any Short product.
