AIR INDUSTRY Akron to Be “Baptised”| Today After Three i Years’ Work | (Continued from: Page One) | Fabrication of the Akron was formally started November 7, 192! when Rear Admiral Moffett drove! a golden rivet into the maste ring. Eight hundred men then went to work on the ship, and in a year and a half- since then the queen of the ‘air has steadily taken form. More than 100,000 persons are expected to attend the christening, including many men high in the, councils of the nation. ! Plan Ocean Passenger Ships When the Akron takes to the air engineers probably will sooh lay the groundwork for the second Zeppelin, the ZRS-5, and later the corporation expects to construct mammoth lighter-than-air craft for transatlantic service. i These commercial ships will be similar to the Akron, except that| the military equipment will be re- | placed by accommodations for 100 passengers. The Akron is 785 feet from stem to stern, nine feet longer than the j world-girdling Graf Zeppelin. She has a capacity of 6,500,000 cubic feet, almost twice as great as the Graf and her maximum diamefer| is 1329 feet. | Her eight motors develop 4,480 horse power, and drive her at a mdximum of 85 miles an hour. She | can’ crufse 10580 miles without, refueling. | Her lifting gas is the non ex-| plosive helium. Her armament "will include 16} heavy caliber machine guns and, five fighting "planes. These planes,! resting in a Hangar within the| giant ship, can be released and re- | covered by a trapeze arrangement.| New Plays Su Local Theatre Screens Spar 'EXILED HEARTS {Drama Full of Thrills Will| "~ |though outwardly he appears to be nday » * COLISEUM The Voice of the Screen SUNDAY and “('\])\‘\ A | !
