Balzer had problems finishing this engine, delivering finally not earlier than 1900. For proper use, Langley's technical assistant, Charles M. Manly, had to modify it heavily. This became the Manly–Balzer engine, the first purpose-built aero-engine. [citation needed] Balzer's business was not very successful, and he left in 1902.

Braking choppers are automatically activated when the actual DC bus voltage exceeds a specified level depending on the nominal voltage of the variable-frequency drive

The number of chopper-building custom shops multiplied, as did the number of suppliers of ready-made chopper parts. According to the taste and purse of the owner, chop shops would build high handlebars, or later Ed Roth's Wild Child designed stretched, narrowed, and raked front forks. Shops also custom-built exhaust pipes and many of the ...
