The eoul-llbrator consists of a long steel cable to which arc attached thirty small eteol tanks, each carrying seventy-five pcurds of gasoline, and forty wooden blocks.

The blocks are about twenty Inches long. The equilibrator makes it unnecessary to carry ballast. It is intended that the balloon shall sail a a height of about 200 feet If it settles close to the water the wood blocks and the tanks will float, thus relieving the balloon of some of its weight.
