English: "Mechanical Bat" Toy Flying Machine
Whilst the residing at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States, in about 1879–80, Bishop Milton Wright returned home from one of his travels and gave his sons, Wilbur, age 12–13, and Orville, age 8–9, a toy flying machine. The boys were fascinated by it and called the "bat". (Combs, Harry; Caiden, Martin. Kill Devil Hill: Discovering the Secret of the Wright Brothers. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company. 1979. p. 27) This toy is said to have set Orville and Wilbur on the road to solve the aerial navigation problem in later years. The 10 February 1877 issue of the British home and workshop magazine, Design and Work (1876–1881), published an engraving and description of the French rubber band powered toy flying machine, the "mechanical bat", assumedly another Alphonse Pénaud or Émile Dandrieux design, measuring 8.5 in long x 8 in span (216 mm x 203 mm):

The copyright situation of this work is theoretically uncertain, because in the country of origin copyright lasts 70 years after the death of the author, and the date of the author's death is unknown. However, the date of creation of the work was over 120 years ago, and it is thus a reasonable assumption that the copyright has expired (see here for the community discussion). Do not use this template if the date of death of the author is known.
