EDITORS COMMENTS
December 1904: A New Era of Amusement - Sir Hiram Maxim's Flying Roundabout Amidst the bustling streets of London, the spirit of innovation was in the air, and none other than Sir Hiram Maxim, a renowned inventor, was at the forefront of it all. In this illustration, we witness Sir Hiram Maxim's latest invention, a flying roundabout, which would soon captivate the hearts and minds of people across the globe. The Flying Roundabout, as it came to be known, was a marvel of engineering and imagination. It may be described as a roundabout in which the revolving bodies are suspended in the air in cars that are attached by steel wire ropes. The cars, capable of accommodating multiple passengers, would soar high above the ground, giving riders an exhilarating and unparalleled experience. The Flying Roundabout bore a striking resemblance to modern-day fairground rides, but it was a groundbreaking invention for its time. The cars were suspended by a series of steel wires, which were connected to a central axle, allowing them to rotate freely in the air. The cars were not only suspended but also propelled forward, creating a sensation of weightlessness and freedom. The Flying Roundabout was unveiled to the public on the 26th of December, 1904, at the International Motor Show in London. The invention, which was an import from the United States, generated immense excitement and curiosity. People marveled at the sight of the cars flying high above the ground, suspended by wires, and the sensation of weightlessness they experienced. As we look at this illustration, we are transported back in time, to an era of innovation and discovery. Sir Hiram Maxim's Flying Roundabout marked a new chapter in the history of amusement rides, paving the way for more thrilling and exhilarating experiences to come.
