New York Times 100 years ago today, September 30, 1912:
Manager of New Companies Explains He Is Seeking German Patents.
Special to The New York Times.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Sept. 29.— The Batson Air Navigation Company and the Batson Aerial Navigation Company of this city have taken out charters at Camden, N.J., with capital of $500,000 each. Applications have been made for patents in this country and Germany on a new type of air craft.
E. A. Hyde, General Manager of the new concerns, will leave for Germany on Tuesday to present the application for patents and attend to the establishment of a German office. Until the papers are filed in that country nothing will be given out regarding the new craft, although reports have been spread that the machine is of such proportions it can be used either for pleasure or freight transportation.
"I would like to tell all about this new flying machine," said Mr. Hyde to-day, "but as we are applying for patents in Germany I cannot, as any information printed prior to the filing of papers there invalidates our request. We are depending on Germany for the disposal of our machines."
