All such balloons, both British and German, are liable to leak, in which case they may come to the ground still partially filled with hydrogen. The German balloon measures about 4 ft. long when deflated and weighs from 1 to 2 lb. The Germans have also used balloons of French manufacture, similar in construction to the British type. The distinguishing features mentioned above may, therefore, not always be present. Suspended close to the balloon may be found a small canister, of ordinary tin colour, 8 in. diameter and 9 in. long with lengths of string or wire which may amount to a total of 1,000 feet attached. The contents of these canisters (shown suspended at the bottom of Fig. 77) are harmless unless exposed to a naked flame.
