Reports on remote-controlled dirigible created by Mark O. Anthony and Albert Leo Stevens.

"The selector device is so arranged that a series of dots, dashes, or a combination of dots and dashes will actuate the propeller and rudder mechanism; thus a series of dots will cause a contact to be made which will close the circuit of a small motor driving the propeller and so starts the balloon, while a series of dashes will stop it; a series of dots and dashes will actuate a magnet, and this will shift the rudder, turning the airship to the right, while a series of dashes and dots will direct it to the left..."
