The sta- tion is to be completed in the Spring of 1933 and will be the home of the U. §. 5. Akron’s sister ship, the ZRS-5, now under construction at Akron, Ohio. The giant hangar at Sunnyvale al- ready is under construction under plans prepared by the Navy Bureau of Yards and Docks, and rapid progress is being made on the grading of approaches, construction of tracks and temporary roads and other general work. The projects for which bids are to be advertised this week include build- ings and_helium storage equipment. | One set of bids is to cover the admin- | istration building. enlisted men’s bar- racks and dispensary. These buildings | will occupy a prominent position on the station. They are to be of Span- ish architecture, of concrete, with stucco finish and tile roofs. A second set of bids will include the helium repurification building, founda- tions for a 2,000,000-cubic foot low- pressure helium holder, installation of a 1,000,000-cubic foot high-pressure helium storage drum and a long piping tunnel to the hangar. The low-pressure holder is to be the largest helium holder in the world. It will be a quadruple lift, wet-type gaso- meter, approximately 150 feet in diam- oter and 175 feet high. The high-pres- sure drums, In which pure helium is | to be stowed at 750 pounds per square inch pressure, will be purchased on requisition. An clevated water tank also will be advertised this week.

The giant 1.100-by-200-foot hangar is to be separated from the building group by a 300-foot strip of cleared space to prevent dangerous wind eddies around the hangar.
