NHE U. S. S. AKRON NEARING
COMPLETION

Thousands of persons, more than
$4,000 on Sundays, are each week in
specting the progress of construction
of the U. S. S. Akron, which the
Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation is
building for the U. S. Navy, according
to Thos. P. McDonagh, local Good
year dealer.
The u. S. S. Akron, the world 5
largest airship, now has nearly half
its fabric outer cover in place, and
seven of its eight $50 horsepower en-
gines have been installed in motor
rooms in the hull.
With its length of 1856 feet, the q. S.
S. Akron will be but nine feet longer
than the Graf Zeppelin, but its greater
diameter gives it lifting gas capacity
of nearly twice that of the German
ship. The Akron will have ca
pacity of $500, 900 cubic feet of helium,
Americas non infammable, non ex
plosive gas. Use of helium allows in
stallation OF motors inside the hull.
One Of the most interesting features
OF the ship will be its airplane com
partment, Mr. McDonagh states This
compartment will house five pursuit
planes. which may be released In mid
air. and which will be used for scout
ing, or for offense and defense OF the
mother ship.
Mr. McDonagh has installed an at
tractiye window display showing the
airship dock and Zeppelin of the U.
s. s. Akron type. giving visual i'm
preston OF the immensely of both.
