Twelve Balloon Experiments Planned For Easterly Current Check
The plan calls for twelve experimental balloon ascents to determine an easterly current lasting 24 to 48 hours. Each ascent will test wind direction and altitude with standard instruments, plus a rubber boat for sea emergencies. If all twelve land on an easterly current, a large balloon will be built. The tests start in Syracuse, move to New York, and begin around the 7th with two ascents weekly.
