As of 1912, Silverston ran the Milwaukee School and College of Aviation, an institution which was pilloried in Aerial Age Weekly.[1]
As of 1907, Silverston was General Manager of the Vacu-Aerial Navigation and Manufacturing Company. Some patents were 1/2 assigned to William Woods Plankinton, who was president of the company.[2]

Spelling and data errors
On espacenet his middle name is spelled "Ridolph". Wrong, I'm pretty sure, but derives from the spelling on Patent FR-1909-394877. He could have used a different spelling, or the French office could have made a mistake. However, we can see that on Patent GB-1908-20433, which has the same illustrations as the French patent, his name is printed "Rudolph".
