Definition
- In the late 1920s, Ed Link worked for his father at the Link Piano and Organ Factory in Binghamton, New York, and became interested in the systems of bellows and pumps inside organs. On an airfield in Ohio in 1927, pursuing his passion for aviation, Ed had one of those moments of lateral thinking, when he realized that a similar pneumatic system might be constructed to move a wooden cockpit in a way that emulated aircraft movements in flight.
