Title: Why Zeppelins are frightful
Caption 1: A broken-away view of a modern Zeppelin which gives a good idea of its internal construction. In the Zeppelin the gas is confined ina bout seventeen independent bags which are contained in a long cylindrical frame. A number of the bags may be punctured, but the balloon will still be buoyant enought to carry its navigators to safrety and will retain its shape at any altitude
Caption 2: In this picture a Zeppelin is placed above the United States superdreadnought Texas. The comparative sizes have been carefully maintained. The Texas has an over all length of 573 feet, the latest Zeppelin is 670 feet long. But the battleship is more powerful
Caption 3: A Zeppelin can drop bombs on the Texas all without doing any more damage than blowing away the unarmored superstructured. She is armed with machine guns to ward off attacking aeroplanes and she carries a powerful wireless set for long-tange communication
Caption 4: The early car of the Zeppelin and the new car are here contrasted. The new car is far more comforable. It is roofed over probably to prevent the possibility of a chance spark reaching the gas envelope above rather than for any protection require by the navigators. Note the the positions of the machine guns near the motor, which is unfortunate because of the motor vibration
Caption 5: Stern view of a Zeppelin showing the vertical rudders, the horizontal rudders, and the lifting surfaces which serve to steady the Zeppelin like the tai leather of an arrow
