That is the Martin Biplane of 1910.

Glenn L. Martin had built a Curtiss type Pusher in 1909 with Ford engine with which he tought himself to fly. In 1910 followed another machine (the one pictured) with slightly larger upper wing, interplane ailerons, a triangular stabilizer at the front rudder and a 50 hp Curtiss engine with wich he set up a few flight records of distance, duration and altitude in 1910.
(sometimes this is mentoined to be the 1909 type)

Later versions of 2 or 3 similar machines built had at least two stabilizers mounted below and above the elevator at the front.

Cheers

See what happens when we get plunked down here in the lower decks.
People forget we're even on board.

Old machines mostly go together with older people who forget much easier Perhaps it would be an idea to come away from the No Man's Land and to upgrade to a more exalted level.

Don't worry about it Sean. We all appreciate you joining into the game even if it means a little waiting sometimes. I think some of us, and I'm speaking for myself here especially, forget that people have lives beyond the 'drome.

Looking forward to seeing you getting the chance to post more Challenges...

Looks like a Hall Scott engine to me.
Take care.
