Patterson Aeroplane Company. Reportedly, Bryant designed this plane with the assistance of Professor Lowe of the Mount Hamilton Observatory. Shortly after this they started out on another exhibition tour of several towns in California and Nevada. On the Fourth of July they flew at Goldfield, Nevada, apparently now under the management of T.J. McTarnahan. Goldfield was 5,000 feet above sea level, and the miners there were so skeptical about flying that in order to get the contract McTarnahan had to agree to be ridden out of town on a rail if his aviators failed to fly. To the amazement of the crowd they flew successfully. The only other flights made in Nevada before that time were made by Eugene Ely at Reno.

Following this, Bryant and Francis returned to California where, between dates they managed to assemble their new twin-tractor biplanes. They began flying them at once. Bryant then sold his Curtiss biplane to Silas Christofferson, which started him in the aviation business. These new twin-tractor machines had a span of 38 feet, Farman-type ailerons, and landing gear with four wheels and long skids. The 8-cylinder, 60 h.p. Hall-Scott engine was ahead of the pilot, driving two large tractor propellers by chain transmission. Tail surfaces were supported on outriggers and the finished plane weighed 1,100 pounds empty. These airplanes proved to be exceptionally safe and reliable, with good load-carrying and climb capabilities.

Their first exhibition dates with these new machines were at Monterey and Santa Cruz. On July 27th they flew from Santa Cruz to Watsonville for a date there, then to Salinas where on August 3rd they flew an exhibition date. Following this, Bryant and Francis went back to Sunset Field where they were busy carrying passengers, including a local news photographer carried by Bryant to take air photos of Oakland and the Bay areas.

Evidently the team of Bryant and Francis parted at this time, for on August 28th and 29th Bryant gave exhibitions alone at Paso Robles, California.
