Such monster airships as the Zeppelin call for a large proportion
of pure hydrogen. This is, indeed, manufactured on a large scale in
Germany. It is produced in quantities by the electro-chemical works
at Bitterfeld, Griesheim, and at Friedrichshafen, specially for the
needs of the Zeppelins at the latter place. There are also works for
the production of very pure hydrogen by electrolysis at Bitterfeld,
Griesheim, Gersthofen, and Dresden.
In the particular way Germany means to use her lighter-than-air fleet
in the present war time will show. If, however, there have not yet
been attempts at any combination of action, individual Zeppelins have
already played the rôle of dreadnoughts of the air. Though their powers
have been no doubt exaggerated, they have been the terror of some
Belgian cities.
