Artifact Overview
Orville Wright (right) was photographed alongside friend and former schoolmate Edwin H. Sines in the Wright brothers' Dayton, Ohio, bicycle shop. The Wrights' experiences building printing presses and bicycles sharpened their skills in precision machining. These talents were invaluable in their later efforts to build the first successful heavier-than-air, powered aircraft in 1903.
