The temperature is kept constant, and the walls are fireproof.

After 1914, however, there...

Below it will dangle an aluminum cylinder containing 600 specially designed photographic plates in a stack 2 ft. high and 21 in. wide. The balloon is expected to stay up for 48 hours. When it descends, a swarm of airplanes and ships will track it and rescue the cylinder...
