Experience with the Shenandoah's permanent mooring mast at Lake- hurt, 1., has demonstrated. in the the =uccess and economy of this opinion of Navy Department experts, means of anchoring rigid airships. The Navy is to erect a temporary mast soon at Camp Lewis, near Ta- coma, Wash, to serve as a west coast base for the operations of the Shenandoah and the ZR-3, which is being built in Cermany for the| United States. Success of the mast, it is pointed out, has indicated the value of the device as compared with expensive terminal hangars in future commer- cial use of lighter-than-air craft. The bangar is practically eliminated be- cause facilities for placing fuel, sup- plies and men aboard the airships are provided from a platform on the mast through a trap door near the bow, while the great bag, moored to a moveable anchorage, swings with the wind like a weather vane. —— G. 0.
