Patent US-1917-1328040
"The invention relates to improvements in airships. The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of airships, more especially that shown and described in Patent 1,265,638, granted to me May 7, 1918, and in Patent No. 1,233,210, granted to me July 10, 1917, and to increase the simplicity, efficiency and practicability of the airship or aerocruiser and to enable the weight carried by the same to be arranged below the body of the aerocruiser to increase the stability of the machine and effectually prevent any tendency of the machine to rotate on a longitudinal axis. It is also an object of the invention to improve the construction of the means for controlling the ascent and descent of the aerocruiser and to locate the engine rooms exteriorly of and in close proximity to the gas bags or compartments so that the desired temperature may be maintained in the same without material loss in either the heating means or the means for reducing the temperature when such devices are employed.
