So that being said, your Challenge photograph represents the:
Gilmore vertical take-off steam-powered monoplane of 1903-04
No, it doesn't.

I've tried several times over the years, to find the patent number for the Gilmore helicopter / tandem wing aeroplane, but it's always eluded me. I suspect the patent, though it was drawn up, had either never been submitted or it had not been granted.

When I was referring to a spot north of San Francisco, I wasn't referring to Grass Valley but somewhere else.
