.ZR-2 COULD CROSS SEA IN 72 HOURS
Such Was Claim Of Builders Of Destroyed Dirigible

The ZR-2 destroyed today was the largest dirigible ever built, the dimen- sions being Length 695 feet, diameter S5 feet, capacity 2,700,o00 cubic feet. .otal lifting capacity S3 tons.
 The aircraft was operated by six engines. She was estimated to have a cruising radius of 60 miles an hour giving a capacity to make an aggre- gate of 5000 miles of uninterrupted flight. She had a capacity for officers and crew of AZ men. The gasoline supply was 10,900 gallons. It was estimated that she would cross the Atlantic in 72 hours.
 The huge aircraft had four gondolas suspended from the framework. These provided sleeping accommodations for the officers and crew and an electri- cal apparatus for cooking meals. Her wireless set was expected to keep the monster craft in touch with both shores of the Atlantic and to have a radius exceeding 2,5O0 miles.
 When the zR-2 started on her trial flight from Howden Tuesday she had on~board Commander Louis H. Max field, of the II. $. Navy, who haJ been designated by the American navy de- partment to bring the ZR-2 from Eng land to the United States; Brig. Gen s. M. Maitland, the British air marsha and Col. Campbell, who supervised the work of designing the dirigible five other American officers, sever engineers and four riggers, in addi- ton to the regular British crew. A London dispatch of Sunday last 1uoted the Observer as asserting thai during the first trials of the ZR-2 a tendency of the giant to hump de- veloped and that an inspection re. vealed the fact that certain girders had bent and that lattice work hac buckled under he strain. Remedia measures were taken, the newspaper said.
 l $2,OOO.OOO Purchase Price. The purchase price of the ZR-2 wa:
 to be $2,000,000. This, 1t is assum ee
 was to become effective after the air
 craft had completed her trials and wa
 delivered to and accepted by thu | American authorities. The British ali
 service had been careful, however
 to avoid a premature delivery, as they had wished to be assured tha everything connected with the struc
 tural arrangement of the dirigible Wa. in satisfactory condition.
