My girlfriend is furious with me because she found a bunch of hidden letters that revealed I was cheating on her.
Now she refuses to play Scrabble at all.
U.S. ZeppelinsIn 1923, Goodyear bought the rights to manufacture Zeppelin dirigibles. An article in the New York Times (2 Nov 1923) announced that Goodyear secured the right of manufacture all parts of Zeppelin dirigibles. Earlier, during WW I, manufacturers including Goodyear, had conferenced (12 Feb 1917) with a Navy Rear Admiral to consider U.S. capabilities to reproduce Zeppelins. In 1922, the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company at Akron, Ohio, was already building a 300-ft semi-rigid airship for the Army Air Service. In Lakehurst, N.J., a rigid airship ZR-1 was being completed and the ZR-3 was being built for the Navy at the Zeppelin plant in Germany as part of the indeminity award after WW I. Under the peace treaty, German plants were to be razed after completing the ZR-3. The Goodyear-Zeppelin Corp was dissolved in WW II (Dec 1940).« |
