"You've got a horse power engine and planes hard to beat. There are
self-priming oil pumps, an auxiliary exhaust, and the machine
follows the lines of the lowest gasoline consumption. Remember the
triple axis conditions, Dashaway. One controls the fore and aft
axis, producing tipping. The second is the vertical axis, producing
turning. The third is the lateral axis, producing rising and
falling."

"Some one at the office wishes to see Mr. Dashaway," just here
interrupted a lad from the plant.

"To see me?" spoke Dave in some surprise.

"Yes, sir. He asked me to give you his card, and said he had come
quite a distance to see you."

Dave took the card the lad handed him. He was a little startled,
and then curious, as he read the name--

"JAMES PRICE, Revenue Officer."
