Interesting machine. Looking at it I would define it as an Orthoptère, probably with flapping wings. But the machine is in construction and not finished. Looking at the hall this could be the work place of the Voisin brothers who built an Ornithoptère for monsieur Florencie, their first paying customer. The machine was not succesfull and ended its days 'suspendit à une roulette voyageant sur un cable et c'est à Palaiseau que la machine termina sa carrière'.

Cheers
