Itwill
be
recalled,
therefore,
that
as
soon
as
the
gas
is
valved
err
into
the
gas
shaft,
there
is
imediately
a mixture
of
hydrogen
and
air
and
are
the
in
the
very
internal
parts
of
the
super
structure
of
the
Hindenburg,
there is
a
certain
area,
therefore,
in
Ihich
these
two
elements
allowed
to
mix
before
they
are
carried
off
into
the
sir
through
gas
vents
For
the
sake
of
clarity,
it
should
also
be
noted
that
the
circular
bands
in
the
frame-work
of
the
super
structure
of
the
Hindenburg
are
referred
to
as
rings,
and
these
rings
are
nubered
and
the
gas
shaft
separating
gas
cells
numbers
h and
5
is
referred
to
as
ring
62.
The
number
62
is
arrived
at
by
computing
the
number
or
meters
from
the
tail
of
the
ship
to
that
circular
beam
in
the
super
structure,
indicating
that
it
is
62
meters
from
the
tail
of
the
ship.
It
is
at
this
ring,
number
62,
that
Iau
and
Sauter
saw
the
first
appearance
of
fire.
Commander
Rosendahl
stated
that
it
is
true
that
this
mixture
of
air
and
gas
in
the
gas
shaft
or
vent
could
have
been
ignited
by
static
electricity
that
could
have
been
generated
by
the
clothing
of
an
individual
or
by
the
rubbing
of
two
objects
in
the
super
structure,
either
by
vibration
or
the
presence
of
friction
of
any
type
in
the
immediate
vicinity
of
this
gas
shaft.
He
also
stated
that
it
might
be
possible
to
even
have
two
pieces
of
the
fabric
covering
the
super
structure
rub
together,
thus
causing
a shock
of
static
electricity-
He
stated,
however,
that
he
is
still
of
the
opinion,
due
to
various
happenings
that
have
been
called
to
his
attention,
that
there
is
a
strong
possibility
that
the
fire;
which
was
ignited
in
this
gas
shaft
at
62
ring,
Ias
caused
by
an
individual
who
attempted
to
perform
an
act
of
sabotage.
In
connection
therewith,
Commander
Rosendahl
stated
that
Doctor
Eckner
has
personally
interviewed
every
mmber
of
the
German
crew
since
his
arrival
here
in
the
United
States.
He
stated
that
the
members
of
the
crew
naturally
have
talked
more
freely
to
Eckner
in
private
than
they
have
to
the
Board
of
inquiry,
which
is
a
public
hearing.
According
to
the
information
that
Eckner
has
received
from
ions
members
of
the
crew,
the
rule
that
a passenger
was
not
to
be
allowed
out
of
the
passenger
quarters
unless
in
company
with
a
member
of
the
crew
was
not
st,iot1y
enforced
in
the
case
of
a
passenger
by
the
name
of
Josephispach.
According
to
Rosendahl,
