Hi,

number 2 looks like the Irvine 1908 Aerocycloid

Names are often misspelled when publicized in media foreign to the name bearer’s descent. So in this case.

The name is not Skearer, but Shearer – J. C. Shearer of San Francisco

Here is an article from Popular Mechanics (1908). The similarity to the Aerocycloid (of the same year as the article) is indeed striking.

As for this image:

The caption translates to

Another view of the Historical Exhibition in the Vertical Flight Hall

Without further context of the publication, its year, country of origin etc it should be difficult to ascertain which historical exhibit in which Vertical Flight Hall of which museum is being referred to.
