Excerpt from Logging Test of a Single-Hull Balloon
This test of a single-hull balloon for logging was performed early in 1965 in connection with the forest engineering research study of harvesting heavy timber from difficult access areas. Prior to this test, the only balloon logging experience in the United States was that acquired by Bohemia Lumber Co using a twin-hull vee-balloon designed and built by Goodyear Aeros pace Corp. Single hull balloons had been tested in British Columbia in 1963 and 1964, but specific performance information was unavailable. The test reported here was conducted by the U. S. Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station, in cooperation with the Bohemia Lumber Co Inc of Culp Creek, Oreg. Site of the test was at Dean Creek on the Elliott State Forest near Reedsport, Oreg.
