The Scientific American Trophy for airships heavier than air was placed on exhibition at the Grand Central Palace on October 24 at the exhibition of the Aero Club of America. The trophy is attracting much attention, and illustrations of it have appeared in all the principal papers in this country and abroad. It is conceded that it is the most beautiful aeronautical trophy ever offered. The Scientific American gold medal for devices for saving life and limb was formally turned over to the American Institute of Social Service at a meeting of the Advisory Council held in the new Museum of Safety Devices in the 39th Street building, New York, on October 25.. Interesting details of the rules governing exhibits and of the competition will be published later.
It’s Time to Stand Up for Science
If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.
I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.
If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.
In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.
There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.
