The altimeter registered 9740 feet which was accredited as a new world's record by Clifford B. Brooks, chairman of the Washington aeronautical meet class and America.
The instrument this time showed which John Jones carried when he made a former record of 9740 feet by Berliner Pack on October 1

In his glide he traveled at least 30 miles to the southward for which direction seemed to extend after being for 6 minutes at maximum altitude.
nine glided town in a distance which estimated at most six miles. In swiftly did the monoplane descend than the pilot was mustered. However, in meadow an open field and jumping is monoplane to the ground without injury

Went the Limit.

Brooks was greatly disappointed when he found that the barometer had raised to maximum and even moments feet more and it was skim listed it was time missile tho while the monoplane ascend another ft from the six mile engine white man country it many further and was up at the extreme altitude for many than 1 minutes. Jumping the needle in an effort to gain a greater height.
