Seadrome Test Hopes Amid Public Works Loan Talk
Howard W Blakeslee reports on the seadrome project as Public Works administration weighs a 1.5 million dollar loan for early experiments on a floating island across the Atlantic. Four others back dirigibles and long-range airliners in a three way contest for regular transatlantic service. The seadrome design features a 1225 by 300 foot deck atop hollow columns with 100 feet of clearance, a three mile mooring cable, and buoyant tanks to rise above waves. Edward R Armstrong of Holyoke MA pioneered models from 1923 and remains central to the concept.
