First facsimile edition 1 of 95 copies printed of this curious treatise detailing how Pocock achieved nearly 20 miles per hour while driving his Charvolant a kite-hauling carriage from Bristol to Marlborough in 1827. Pocock was an aviation pioneer who conducted experiments on the use of kites how to lift draw and move items by using kites and finally capped it with his huge kites drawing the Charvolant. One of Pocock’s giant kites still exists in the Museum of Bristol a BBC team recreated and flew the kite successfully in 2009 and in 2009 Takeshi Sugimoto of Kanagawa University determined that as long as the carriage was not exposed to the wind and kites were aloft they did produce sufficient lift to offer steady driving speeds for the carriage.
