Zeppelin (airship) interior

Hi!

I forgot to tell there were also commands for releasing the waterballasts
These were mainly handgrips which I cannot detect them on the photo, and there were many waterballastsacs (each 1.000 liter!)
It was even so by the dismantling of this L49 the water in it was still frozen into a bloc of ice!

Next picture : the left side of the damaged car with the altitude command stearing wheel!

Do you mean this thing? May be, located near altitude steerwheel?

(bottom right picture from block)

Also, this orange panel might be some engine-controls?

Hi!

I am not fully sure about, but the photos depicts the Brussels Air Museum gondola and wireless pictures from what's kept from the L 30 into exhibition there.
Hiowever the (maybach)motor in exhibition at Brussels is (or was!) was wrong annotated and is not at all coming from L30, is from an older type of zeppelin, but they got it in exchange for an aviation motor from the French Air Museum atLe Bourget/Paris!
One of the photos depict such barograph picture , don't know if this should be there to find? Maybe an object into the Tondern Museum?
The same for that other picture here above!
Not seen it at Brussels myself!

I suppose it was to find into the motorgondola's ?
It has to see with fuel provisions....
The fuel reseves were to find into fuel tanks suspended into the zeppelin skeletton itselves , in pairs fitted to the structure!
On a L 49 article, I have a photo with 16 of such tanks piled up by the demolition (no idea if thet were all of them!)....each containing 300 liters...
Probaly the devise you above published served to let stream fuel from these to the fuel tank into the motorgondola....?
Could be!

Notice there was surely also an oil reserve too!

So that above photo with those switches tells Fuel en the two under switwches (or leverls) say Let Tank and Right tank!
That('s why I guess has to see with those benzin reserves!

Thanks, Jean-Pierre. I'll work on german inscriptions above levers, and engine telegraph too. May be, on Telefunken.
The barograph I'd seen at many sites, even one with example of it's record (chart)

[bearx]

I'd read in one crew memoires, that they dropped out empty barrels of benzin. So, could they store part of fuel or oil insied sleketal tunnel

What did you say about "Dixmude"? Think it much modified then L-72?
