Utica Observer, Monday, July 8, 1901

Just days after Wilbur Wright and Octave Chanute discussed Prof. Meyers buying thirty pound, ten horsepower Whitehead motor with two hours' fuel for his skycycle (July 1/4, 1901), Prof. Meyers' local newspaper, the Utica Observer, also announced its installment in the Skycycle:

"Prof. Meyers has now under construc-

tion a powerful light weight motor

adapted to automobiles or aerial car-

riages, whose weight will not exceed

thirty pounds for ten horsepower, with

two hours' supply of fuel, and which he

proposes adding to the skycycle."
