Article Title and/or Image Caption (Dublin Core): A Boy's Dirigible Balloon with Parachute
extracted text (Extract Text): A WESTERN novelty manufacturer offers a toy
balloon consisting of a six-and-a-half-foot bag
of strong tissue paper, two inflating cartridges, one
tissue parachute with a cardboard dummy, two sets
of time-fuse, and directions for the use of the toy.
To send up the balloon, the bag is first loosened,
then the lighted inflater is inserted in the bag.
Before burning itself out, the inflater will carry the
balloon to a considerable height.

The parachute is attached to the balloon by a
time-fuse, which will burn when the inflater is
burned out, thereby releasing the parachute with
the dummy. The balloon may be recaptured and
sent up again with the extra inflater.
