The diameter of thesteering propeller is 8 feet, while that of the propellerproper at the rear of the airship is 12 feet. The latterpropeller is driven continuously, while the steeringpropeller is used only intermittently, as needed. Thelong, longitudinal driving shafts, running fore and aftfrom the motor, are arranged to run in special self-aligning ball bearings, and there is a considerablespeed reduction from these two driving shafts to thepropeller shafts,. as can be seen in the airship is controlled by four levers, placed withineasy reach of the aeronaut.
