I think there is some slight danger in having airship gasbags made in a foreign country.
I suppose we all of us know, or have known, the clever demagogue and the gasbags who are very good talkers and very poor workers.
The gasbag has now been lengthened and the stabilising gear altered.
The extension of the gasbag was allowed, and when this was done it was ready for real experimental work.
Whenever you suspend the airship without gasbags in her, you may stress the material badly, and one day you may have an accident.
The outer balloon represents the airship's outer envelope or gasbag; the red inner balloon represents the ballonet.
These problems were addressed by initially increasing the gas capacity by letting out the gasbag wiring system, followed by the insertion of an extra bay.
This caused the gasbags to foul the framework, the resulting chafing causing the gasbags to be holed in many places.
