Patent GB-1910-3438
This invention offers improvements to the steering mechanism of flying machines. It's for a mechanism wherein a single steering pillar is employed to control, say, three independent elements such as wings and vertical and horizontal rudders. The invention may be applied to aeroplane-type machines (as described here) or to dirigibles. In this invention, a steering pillar is arranged so that it can slide endwise, rotate about its longitudinal axis and swing about an axis transverse to its length for effecting three distinct classed of control by movements communicated for example to the wings, vertical rudder and horizontal rudder respectively. "Steering by surfaces capable of individual adjustment connected to a single operating-apparatus. The steering- pillar A is mounted to have three distinct adjustments for controlling" -- from google patents
