5. The navy dirigible S. largest craft of its kind in the world, rests today in its hangar a supreme accomplishment. The anxious concern for months of those in charge of its construction was relieved in a 55 minute test flight last night. Every cylinder of the giant balloon engines, every ounce of lifting power, every member of the staff of men and I officers in charge of the launching functioned perfectly.

The great ship rose majestically and, rising quickly, it swung slowly around the field. The engines were at no time operated at more than half speed. The vessel traveled at a rate of 30 0 miles an hour. Dusk had fallen when the ship nosed toward the fleld. Giant searchlights silvered the enormous envelope and supplied a path of light to guide the pilot to a safe anchorage.

The S. R-1 is a flying laboratory, in the construction and out of the operation of which, according to Commander J. S. Hunsaker, chief of naval design in the bureau of aeronautics, will be developed not only new phase of commercial aviation. Entrance to the interior of the S.

may be had only through ports above the power cars or through two hatches amidships. The duraluminum ladder from the control car into the bow has a windshield forward, with canvas sides laced to a point aft. The ladders from the five other stations are entirely unprotected and up and down these the naval mechanics clamber as the ship is speeding along thousands of feet in the air. The bone and sinews of the airship are duraluminum and steel wire. In the production of the duralumisum the navy met a great problem, the metal being an alloy compounded only by the Germany.

The intestines of 1,400,000 cattle were purchased by a large tire and rubber company before 900,000 of them proved satisfactory for manufacture into the fabric of the airship. Six engines, developing 357 horsepower each, superior, naval officers say, to the engines used in the giant Zeppelins of the Germans, rious stores.
