Viewing these pages requires a browser capable of displaying frames.  I apologize for that; I tried several other methods of presenting the annotations and could not find another that kept the text and the annotations onscreen at the same time without one obscuring the other.  If you find frames too annoying to endure, there is an alternative: you can open the annotations alone, without the text, by clicking here.  The annotations should open in a window of their own.  However, before you do that, let me say, for the record, that reading the annotations without the text is not the method I recommend, nor have I ever intended that the annotations should stand alone or in any way be considered a replacement for the text.  I think that you should read the two side by side.  I really do.
    So, spread your browser’s window as wide as it will go, and read them as I (and my collaborators) wrote them.  Click here to begin.

NOTE: You may find, as I sometimes have, that the annotations do not appear in the frame to the right of this one, or that the scroll bars for the frames do not appear, or both.
You should see something like this on your monitor (with scroll bars and content in place):
However, you may instead see something like this (with the content in place but no scroll bars):
I have found that if the scroll bars or frame content are missing I can make them appear by resizing the browser window slightly.  It doesn’t seem to make any difference whether I make the window slightly smaller or slightly larger.  The key is to change the size.  I can then make the window the full size of the screen again, and the scroll bars and content will remain visible.

The illustration at the top of the page is an adaptation of an illustration by Stewart Rouse that first appeared on the cover of the August 1931 issue of Modern Mechanics and Inventions. The boy at the controls of the aerocycle doesn’t particularly resemble Peter Leroy—except, perhaps, for the smile.
