Table II is based upon fi~al or modified orders in those oases where
the rapid progress of flight technique rendered certain features obsolete
before the balloons on order were delivered.
Figure l shows the spherical bal+oon as originallydesigned. This
type of balloon was made of .004 and .ooa inch, heat-sealed, polyethylene.
It had several good characteristics, such as very low leakage, but the method
of load attachment furnished by H.A. Smith, Inc., was not satisfactory. Of
the six balloons of this type which were used, two ripped free from the shroud
lines durin& launching.
