About 1880 he devised an airplane engine powered by nitroglycerin. A roll of ordinary ticker-tape, turned into guncotton, was fed between two copper rolls into the cylinder and exploded electrically.

This move was of course technically independent of last week's Manhattan meeting, but undoubtedly the coppermen talked informally of price. With tremendous stocks of copper on hand and little prospect of an immediate reduction in them, the new price has yet to meet a real test. But apparently depression and copper chaos have deprived the copper tycoons of none of their willingness to take big chances for big stakes...
