Crushed Zeppelin Under Road Keller
When the French began 70 take 90
pieces the skeleton Of the sisanuc Asp
pelin that fell on the hills near tne
banks of the Buech they founo u Ill
almost tnextricable tangle OF metal.
The way they went to work was most
ingenious. ,.
At the suggestion Of N. Dumanois'
q naval engineer, they cut the carcass
apart with oxy-acetylene torches; tne
pieces of framework were carried py
men to a nearby road. where Q heavy
steam road roller was sent over them
to crush them fat. Thus the bulk waa
reduced by four-fifths, and the metal
most aluminum-was carted away
to the foundry.
