mg. A GO-foot wooden mast must
be erected in the center of the
mooring field, with a concrete base
and guyed to concrete anchors
Around the mast as a center a cir
cular roundway 80 to 100 feet wide
is required to accommodate the
pneumatic wheel fastened to the
rear gondola, permitting the Zep
pelin to swing with the wind. The
round way must be 594 feet from
the bottom of the mast.
“The field must be cleared and

for the hydrogen plant to be erect

current at the field is required.
"My agreement with the Aero
arctic society in consideration of
making Fairbanks the Zeppelin
base is that Fairbanks will furnish
the required field, with electricity
and water available, to assist in the
erection of the mast, the Aeroarctic
to furnish the materials, and to

Commissions may assist with the
field. I strongly urge that Fair
banks acquire sufficient ground
and southwest of the present field
for a mooring field and enlarge the
present field for landing purposes
in view of giving Fairbanks an out
standing airport. The Aeroarctic
society contemplates similar yearly
expeditions with the Graf Zeppelin,
or similar air craft.
“Kindly advise whether 150 sacks
of cement are' now available in
Fairbanks and the price. The Aero
arctic have appointed you as their
Fairbanks representative.”
Mr. Ma-quam was advised by
telegram that arrangements had
been made to secure ground and
that the survey had been authoriz
ed. Forty-five tons of cement were
available, he waj tc'.d.
