The balloon, which is preferably constructed of aluminium, is stated to be made in three parts, though two only, the upper and the lower, are described. The upper part is somewhat smaller than the lower part, and these two parts are held together by a gallery or framework. The lower part carries a deck, which supports all the appliances required for a journey.

By filling the upper part with gas, the balloon will ascend; and by pumping gas from the upper to the lower part, the balloon will descend.

A rudder is provided for directing the balloon, but the inventor does not state how this operation is performed, except that the rudder is to be revolved.

Perhaps the idea is that the gas has less of a buoyant effect in the larger lower chamber. (Is it mixed? Is it replaced by air in the smaller upper chamber?)

"Provisional only".

Inferring Jouanique is French, from Marseille, and this patent resembles Patent FR-1881-146226.
