Rough draft
historical research on Aloys Van Gries. Summary note: The technical
statics book on aircraft at the 1920 state of understanding in German at
398 pages gives some clue to the technical power of Aloys van Gries. There
are robust analyses of biplane aircraft structures; if one wanted to steep
in biplane aircraft, then this book might be important for that.
Near 18 MB file. In AWE, I am seeking a "feel" for what brought him
to the 1935 patent on airborne wind energy, about 15 years following his
publishing the major textbook on aircraft statics.
Following note is not very important, if it is simply that one
wants view of the book which is linked above. : |

Aloys Van Gries-Str., Bensheim, Germany Is there a
street named after him? Yes. So, the territory thought well enough
of him to name a street after him. I do not have any information about the
street's naming. 1. Head east on Joseph-Treffert-Straße toward Aloys-van-Gries-Straße 2. Take the 1st right onto Aloys-van-Gries-Straße Aloys-van-Gries-Straße 64625 Bensheim, Germany Google Maps satellite show a short segment street with about seven houses on it. |

[ ] If this is our man, then he was mayor of Bensheim, Germany:
1871–1902: Aloys van Gries
Bürgermeister: 1871–1902: Aloys van Gries. That is a long term of being mayor! I am wondering if this is our guy or not??? I wonder if Museum der Stadt Bensheim (municipal museum) has anything about these matters. "When the Municipal Order of the Grand Duchy of Hesse came into force on 30 June 1821, Bensheim citizens were allowed to choose their mayor." [ ] "Founding goal is to secure the cultural offer of the city of Bensheim at a high level and to create more efficient structures." http://www.stadtkultur-bensheim.de/stadtkultur-bensheim/wir-ueber-uns/ If this is our guy's city of mayorship, then the city might be interested in how he stands in the AWE history. bibliothek(at)bensheim(dot)de |

Special note: Though his patent mostly concentrated on trains
lifting flygen with electrical conduction via conductor tether, it is
exciting to see his awareness in an alternative method of sending energy
to the ground:
