Contents: From Page 1: "As will be seen in this narrative, the Harriman Motor Works was not a highly successful venture that had a lasting impact on aviation. Nevertheless, it was a part of aviation when the field was in its earliest and most formative stages. Therefore, it seems worthwhile to document all that is known of the operation for those who are excited about the development of aviation."
