The Mediterranean No. 2 balloon:
In order to prevent the balloon from being depressed by a shower of rain, its top part terminates in a cone. Instead of trailing a single guide-rope, M. Hervé proposes a system of "triangulation," consisting of a trailer floating at the end of a long rope behind the balloon, and a balance weight hanging in the water by nearly vertical and shorter rope, the resistance of the latter body being necessarily smaller than that of the former.
