Orville would discover in later years that he and Wilbur39。s first interests in flight began when they were children, with powered rubberbandhelicopter toys that their father would bring home for them from trips around the country. Orville and Wilbur would build duplicates(復(fù)制品)of these toys and bounce them off the ceiling. They were just crazy about these things for the reasons that they did not yet understand. Both boys loved to solve problems that seemed difficult to others. The more difficult the problem was, the more they saw it as a challenge. Exploring the unknown was such a joy for then that Orville once said, I can remember when Wilbur and I could hardly wait for the morning to e to get at something that interested us. That39。s happiness. Putting their gift to work, the boys entered the printing business soon after high school. Orville designed and then built a printing press(印刷機(jī))for this enterprise. At first, they did contract printing for other people, and soon one of their customers during the early 1890s was Father Milton39。s church. They also tried the newspaper business, and although their two newspapers, the West Side News and The Evening Item were considered to be of high quality, Dayton already had daily newspapers, so the Wrights soon returned to contract printing. Branching out into other areas, they also opened a bicycle business. Bicycling was the fastest growing sport in the country at that time, and their repair shop soon led them into building bicycles of their own design, often with tools of their own construction, such as the lathe(車床)driven by a onecylinder gasoline engine built by Orville. The bicycle shop would provide the livelihood(生計(jì))that would allow them to carry out their experiments on airplanes.
