Patent US-1913-1142754
Here Curtiss develops his "flying boat" design, emphasizing a sturdy fuselage that can land safely on water and take off effectively. The focus is the shape of the boat's bottom, or hydroplaning surface: how to compromise between the various requirements for speed and stability under the different conditions it will navigate.
This patent was published and lauded in Curtiss, 1915, Curtiss granted new flying boat patent. (For what it's worth Curtiss did advertise in this magazine, Aerial Age Weekly.)
The original patent was filed on 1912-09-06 (serial number 718840) then divided and resubmitted on 06-04-1913 (serial number 771646). (We will treat 1911 as the filing date as it corresponds to an intellectual rather than purely administrative conception of these patents' origin.) The other part became Patent US-1912-1085575.
