lies at the base Of the construction OF
the rigid dirigible, namely, the necessity
for securing evenness and uniformity OF
stress internally and externally
throughout all parts Of the structure.
Before the war broke out Dornier,
chief engineer Of the Zeppelin Constrnc-
ton Company, laid down Ms the funda ..
mental principle In the construction OF
the rigid dlriglble that the all important
stresses or strains to which the ship Ia
subjected In the air are those known as
the longitudinal stresses, or the stresses
which extend from one end Of the craft
to the other set UP by the movement OF ,i
the ships machinery propellins J.
through the air. This establishes at
once the fundamental difference between
the Zeppelin and British built airships.
Apparently. the ZR-2 broke at soms
point anidships during high speeo
test. The explosions. from oil the evl-
dence at hand, were subsequent TO the
parting or breaking asunder OF the
frame. and we're the very natural re-
suit OF the release Of gas due to the RIP
ping OF the gas compartments ana the
parting Of many pipes and connexions.
"There are two forces to be met oy
the designers, one, the internal pressure
of the volume of gas. and the other tne
external pressure OF the air on the craft,
set up by its motion.
1.-THE earliest Zeppelins were con-
structed with the same diameter
throughout their entire length, giving
a uniform size Of cylinder throughout;
After the war broke out it was found
necessary to increase the diameter oil
the Zeppelin amidships In order to carry
greater loads to greater heights, and
thus both to escape gunfire and to carry
aloft effective high explosives. 1t IS
evident that when the girth of the AIR
ship is increased amidships there is a
greater volume Of gas at that point,
which places tremendous, uneven gas
pressure on this section of the frame.
This would give n tendency to hump In
the center IL there were any structural
weakness at that point, and any subse.
quent re- enforcement at this point
would only tend to throw excess stress
on that part Of the ship, which would
destroy the uniformity Of stress fore
and aft. This defect would imme-
diately become apparent whenever the
ship was driven forward at top speed. :.
or was turned too sharply on its end. y

u. S. AMBASSADOR
FEARED DISASTER

London. Aug. 28.-(By A. P.)--
George Harvey, the American Ambas-
sador, had a premonition that disaster
would befnll the ZR-2 and was uneasy
about the whole enterprise. according
to the Daily Mail. The newspaper says
that Mr.. Harvey, talking TO friends,
including Major Solbert. military at
tache, and Captain Hyatt. assistant
military attache of the American En-
bassy, at his country home in Wey-
bridge. Wednesday, said:
II distrust the whole undertaking Of
the R-3S (the old name of the dirigible)
crossing the Atlantic. especially at this
time, although / am not criticizing the
Navy Department for buying the ship.
Although my premonition is not found
ed on scientific basis. think the
enterprise is hazardous and useless and
that 1t will not be of much gain"
Mr.. Harvey added. according TO the
Daily Mail, that when he saw the ship
he acquired an involuntary distrust Of
1.-THE whole business" and had worried
about il since. Later on Wednesday,
the newspaper asserts, Mr.. Harvey
said, Il cannot rid myself of the fear
that something has happened TO the
airship," and that soon after this he
received telephone message informing
him Of its fall.
