TopBand: Gibson girl wire

[Robert A. Kile]

I have used the phosphor-bronze "Gibson Girl" wire for Blimp operation. 
It's plenty strong and light enough for baloon use as long as there is 
no visible corrosion. To my knowledge there is no other wire as suitable 
for the particular use as they are either too heavy or not strong 
enough.
