She carried a long control car, the keel of which was a cylindrical fuel tank. From it were suspended a lifeboat and a long cable trailing a cluster of 30 hollow steel cylinders. This last device, called an "equilibrator," was supposed to touch the water, keeping the dirigible at an altitude of 200 ft. If the warm sun should cause the ship to rise, the equilibrator would act as ballast. There were two 80-h. p. engines...

Later the same day he disposed of Ponzi, 12540-94, in a match which ended with Caras' dangerous cut-shot for the right-hand upper corner pocket-when, if he had been a little less sure of himself, he might have broken a cluster to put Ponzi out of position instead of trying to run out the game.
