| Gents, Fortunately I did save a comparison photo. Neither gun pictured here is complete. The top gun is the inferior design. The bottom a rendition closer to that of a Lewis Gun. The two Gumby guns go into the ”Magic Box”! |

| An error in air foil, AKA wing, construction caused a delay in Lewis gun fabrication. I cannot blame Gumby for the construction mistake. I solely take the blame for the plan misinterpretation and framing error. However, all is okee do kee now. The airfoils, or the parts or surfaces, such as a wings, propeller blades, or rudders, that interacts with a flow of air to provide stability, rotation, lift, or thrust seem to match. |
