Page 4 - The Divine Directions for Use

THE AEROPLANE

To the pilot it is a matter of course that he can only demand
of his aeroplane what it was fitted for by the builder or inven-
tor. He also knows that he must operate it strictly according
to the directions of the design engineer. Therefore of
course every inventor or builder publishes along with his
creation an instruction booklet. And the more complex and
enormous the invention is the more important are the
directions for use and their consistent compliance. For
even the s m a l l e s t l e v e r can decide on life and death.
What is the use to the ignorant of indeed bringing the aero-
plane to a certain height without professional knowledge,
yes even being able to fly so high that he would need to
switch on the oxygen supply, but, o fright, does not find
t h e s m a l l l e v e r ? – He will suffocate and make a fatal
crash although he miraculously managed to fly – A catas-
trophe!

SO PLEASE, ONLY WITH THE
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
OPERATE THE FLYING-MACHINE!
