But the bird's stroke is different from the swim- mer's. As soon as his wings are at their highest point, they begin to turn forward and downward with a strong, even sweep that lifts the body and carries it ahead. The air is driven backward less by the direction in which the wing is moved than by the... curvature of the under surface, by its general shape, and by the rotary motion at the shoulder joint. When it is necessary to recover for the next stroke, see by the picture how neatly it is done. The wing bends at the joint, leaving only half as great a resisting surface, the Fig. 19.
