Views of the Stout 3-AT prototype during engine testing at Ford Airport. The prototype Stout 3-AT airplane seen parked with engines running. Several persons go in and out of her cabin, while three men in caps stand atop the fuselage around another, wearing a fedora, in the open cockpit above the cabin. Several different views of the plane are shown. One, from under the right wing, fades out as the engines are shut down and the propellers slow and stop.
