September 15, 1924 AVIATION 999 that the controlability and stability of the airship is good, and that the structural work is excellent. Capt. George W. Steele, Comdr. Garland Fulton, Lieut. Comdr. S. M. Kraus and Leiut. Karl Schmidt were present on board during the flight as U. S. Navy observers. Additional trial flights will be made before the airship makes the delivery flight across the Atlantic to this country, which is scheduled for the middle of September. Prior to the flight several vessels of the U. S. Navy will take station in the Atlantic and furnish weather forecasts for the ZR3. The following despatch from Captain Steele in regard to these vessels is of interest: "The following are the positions desired by the contractor for the station vessels. The main vessel to be in Lat. 45 Long. 45, and the secondary vessel to be further north of the main vessel Lat. 58 Long. 45 or as close to this position as ice and other conditions will safely allow. As previously out-lined, vessels are primarily for meteorological service and it is not contemplated to make a change in their positions for reason of airship sailing across Atlantic by northern or southern route. It is suggested by contractor that the station vessel to the north be secondary and make weather reports to main vessel at position of which Lat. 45 north and Long. 45 west. The main vessel, as outlined previously, will coordinate all data and inform airship." Naval Air Orders Lt. (jg) George G. Murdock, det. Aircraft Sqd., Battle Flt.; to Marine Bks., Quantico, Va.
