' AIRSHIP LINE
N.Y. TO FRISCO
IS PROJECTED
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 3 (by As
sociated Press).—A dirigible airship
line to engage in regular passenger
service between New York and San
Francisco is a project in which war
department officials would like to in
terest capital, with a view to having
an air fleet immediately available in
case of war, according to Professor
Harvey N. Davis, of Harvard univer
sity.
Professor Davis is engaged in ex
pert work on helium gas for the de
partment, and is designing a plant to
be built at Langley Field, Va- where
the expensive gas after use in the
military lighter-than-air craft may be
washed free of impurities and used
again. Estimates by Colouel William
N. Hensley, of the war department,
indicate that it will be possible for
passengers to go by aircraft overland
at a cost of about 5 cents a mile, at
a speed of 68 to 70 miles an hour.
“The advent of the airship as a
regular passenger carrier is much
nearer than many persons in this
country realize,” said Mr. Davis. “I
shall be surprised if the coming sum
mer does not see a line of airships in
operation by an English firm be
tween the United States and the Brit
ish Isles and I have no doubt what
ever that a year from now will see
regular weekly sailings.
* “By the use of helium all danger
of disaster from explosions such as
have wrecked big balloons filled with
hydrogen will be averted. There will
be no fear of ignition of the gas by
bullets, lightening or sparks from the
engine. In fact, it is pointed out, that
the engines may be placed inside the
outer shell of the dirigible, and that
except for observation purposes no
car need be carried outside of the big
bag.”
While the present cost of producing
helium is about ten times that of hy
drogen. Professor Davis believes that
development of its manufacture will
result in a cheaper product. Helium
will be used to furnish the lifting
power in the $2,500,000 dirigible which
the navy department expects to obtain
from an English manufacture soon.
