However, it also alternated these on occasion with two 225 h. p. Packard Diesels. It was 184 feet in length, 44 feet in diameter, 330 gal. fuel capacity, speed was 62 mph. It had a cruising range of 1,175 miles and could carry seven passengers. Hugh Allen, The Story of the Airship (Akron, Ohio: Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., 1932), pp. 23, 95.
