Criticism of German specialists is, in general, "nothing new in airplanes to be seen"; many French pursuit and combat airplanes are high-wing monoplanes; Bechereau and De Mureaux use number of struts with expensive junctions and shock absorbers, in order to carry trussing past wheels through landing gear; Breguet has developed good spring wheel for same purpose so that he can join trussing directly to rigid axle; Levasseur dispenses with axle and wheel springs; endeavors are everywhere being made to improve landing-gear shock absorbers; describes two types of metal floats; Fokker exhibits well-developed all-steel tail skid on his CV; to fasten cowling, Fokker uses single lugs about 7.87 in. apart; for fuselage framework, so-called "wood and wire" type of construction is much used in France; Fiat fuselage has steel-tubing framework consisting of four longerons connected by zigzag diagonal struts; Bess on has all-wood structure in large boat seaplane.
