Mr. ALOIS PIWETZ
164 Halsted Str.
New Jersey, U. s. A.
Dear Mr. PIWETZ,
Your brother will probably have communicated with you about
me as we became acquainted with/ each other at a construction job. I
told him a few things about inventions or utilization.
Dear Mr. PIWETZ,
be not angry with me because I am now turning to you. I hesitated such
a long time as my wife does not wish to go abroad. Enclosed I am
sending you 2 inventions, that is, ideas and I leave it to your own
( power of judgment whether one or both, or none of these inventions
is suitable. If one seems to be profitable to you, you should apply
for a patent in your own name as the best possible way and enter 'for me
and for yourself 45%each of the ·net profit and 10% for your brother.
I am giving you entirely a free hand, as you will undoubtedly try to
attain the greatest possible profit.
And now, dear Mr. PIWETZ, I am talcing the liberty of telling
you something about 8ll invention which the entire world wants to have.
(I am only writing the most important f acts.) Before the war I intended
to make a toy, something which flies, and purely accidentally I di scovered
a hitherto unknown aerodynamic law.
I experimented further. I improved
and informed several comrades. They were enthused and emigrated to
South America.
There they tried it on their own responsibility. People
were killed and they f ailed t o perfect the incomplete invention. They
approached me again.
As they were only artisans, 'these flying machines
were, of course, built primitively.
The first experiments to fly with
a motorcycle motor attained the result of 250-300 km.
Not bad for the
years 1938-391 With a powerful motor they then flew 2600-2800 km.
(hour kilometers).
