Improvement in Balloons at Farnham Establishment
A contemporary describes the Government balloon works near Farnham under Colonel Templar. Balloons are built using multiple thicknesses of gold-beater's skin and filled with hydrogen instead of coal gas. Hydrogen is produced by zinc and sulfuric acid reaction or water electrolysis, costing about eight shillings per 100 cubic feet. For transport it is stored in iron cylinders at about 100 atmospheres. A properly assembled balloon gyrates little, increasing steadiness for balloon photography.
