Bicycle Boyhood Brothers Edwin Filing Frames Friend Orville Wilbur Wright Neighbor Sines
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Orville Wright (left) and Edwin H. Sines (right) are seen working together in the back of the Wright brothers' bicycle shop in 1897. The image captures a moment of camaraderie and collaboration between the two neighbors and boyhood friends, who would go on to make history as pioneers of aviation. Orville and Wilbur Wright were known for their innovative spirit and relentless pursuit of knowledge. The brothers had opened their bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio, in 1892, and it served as their base for various experiments and inventions. Edwin Sines, a local resident, was a regular visitor to the shop and often lent a helping hand. In this photograph, Orville and Edwin are seen filing frames, likely for bicycles or perhaps for their early aviation experiments. The brothers were known to have used bicycle parts in their early flying machines, and the close proximity of their shop to Edwin's home made it a convenient and natural collaboration. The image offers a glimpse into the early days of the Wright brothers' groundbreaking work, which would eventually lead to the first powered, controlled, and sustained flight of a heavier-than-air aircraft on December 17, 1903. The friendship and support of neighbors like Edwin Sines played an essential role in their journey, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of community and collaboration in the pursuit of innovation. The image is a testament to the close bond between Orville, Wilbur, and Edwin, and the role that their shared passion for tinkering and invention played in shaping the course of history. The scene in the back of the Wright bicycle shop in 1897 may seem ordinary at first glance, but it holds a significant place in the annals of aviation history.
