Reply to [[Griffith Brewer to Orville Wright 24-Apr-1914]] (ongoing discussion of affidavit for [[British Wright Company]]).

Wright insists that the [[rudder]] is still useful as a stabilizer used in conjunction with [[wing warping]].

His opinion on international patent law, contra Brewer:

<blockquote>I believe patent law is pretty much the same in all countries. Harte has been considered by the German and the American courts, but was not held as anticipation by either. I think that the English court will also hold that the old paper patents, which were never built and never tried and from which nothing ever developed do not constitute anticipations.</blockquote>
