Ingenious System The balloons, canstruc-ted of tough paper, 33 feet lu iamiiieter and carrying 19,000 cub)ic feet of hydrogen gas, were dsgndto aperate at a height of nearly five miles and ta atay aloft for about one week. This was done by an ingenious system of dropping ballast when- ever the balloon dropped beilow its aperational heiglit.
