I'm located here under the gray skies in Rochester, NY. I'm also interested in the Elbridge engines, and Rochester built aircraft. I was involved in the recreation of the Taylor Chummy that hangs at the airport. Also currently building a 1911 Curtiss Pusher to hang alongside the Chummy.

Probably should have added that I am also interested in Rochester Made marine and automotive engines too. I have done quite a bit of research on the subjects, and have a long way to go.

Here are some of the fruits of my labors:

I would like to do a small page on the Taylor Brothers Company next. Also have plenty to update there.

Also don't forget the Cunningham-Hall company. They built several aircraft during the 30's. One is currently on display at the Niagra Air Museum, and another still flies with a museum in Minnesota.

I almost forgot to mention that Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome has an Elbridge engine. I was going to restore that to running condition for them before the troubles there began.

I am not sure if I gave a link for what I have so far on Rochester engines.

http://www.s363.com/Rochester

I have a histrory of the Jas Cunningham Co, which talks about Cunningham-Hall. Also for some other info on the net.

Check out what I have so far on Elbridge. Just found the factory on the 1910 Plat map.

Also got some photo copies of trebert engine photos from the NASM.
