Barrage balloons were sausage-shaped with fins. Made of rubberized cotton and as large as 70,000 cubic feet when filled with hydrogen, the balloons could withstand being tethered in strong winds. An apron consisted of three balloons anchored to the ground and linked by 500-foot-long cables. Every twenty-five yards, 1000-foot-long steel wires hung vertically from these adjoining cables.
