John H. Geisse, Chief of the Development Section, flew it to Washington on April 14 from the fac- tory of the Hammond Aircraft Corpo- ration at Ypsilanti, Mich. HAMMOND SUCCESSFUL BIDDER The Hammond design was the suc- cessful entry under an invitation for bids issued by the Bureau of Air Com- merce early in May 1934. The object of this bid invitation was a design for the use of Bureau of Air Commerce inspectors which would also be a step forward in designing for private own- ers. Specifications accompanying the invitation for bids featured simplicity and safety of operation as well as low maintenance and operating costs, greater visibility than is commonly available in present-day production airplanes, ability to operate in and out of small areas, and ruggedness making 1 Reproduction by Permission of Buffalo & Erie County Public Library Buffalo, NY
