4 Balloon Fabric
Fabrics for balloon and airship construction are of many varieties and silk, cotton and flax are made use of. They are all very fine in construction, but strong, and are proofed or made weather-proof some other way. One fabric is made three-ply, one of the outer fabrics running longitudinally, the other being cut in strips and placed transversely, while the middle fabric is cut diagonally and placed on the bias. This arrangement is believed to make the cloth so that it will not split, or tear, when pierced with holes. -
5 Aerophane
