mooring mast : ウィキペディア英語版 | mooring mast A mooring mast, or mooring tower, is a structure designed to allow for the docking of an airship outside of an airship hangar or similar structure. More specifically, a mooring mast is a mast or tower that contains a fitting on its top that allows for the bow of the airship to attach its mooring line to the structure. When it is not necessary or convenient to put an airship into its hangar (or shed) between flights, airships can be moored on the surface of land or water, in the air to one or more wires, or to a mooring mast. After their development mooring masts became the standard approach to mooring airships as considerable manhandling was avoided.〔Williams, T, 2009 (Reissue), "Airship Pilot No. 28", Darcy Press, UK, ISBN 978-0-9562523-2-6〕 == Mast types == Airship mooring masts can be broadly divided into fixed high masts and fixed or mobile low (or ‘stub’) masts. In the 1920s and 1930s masts were built in many countries. At least two were mounted on ships. Without doubt the tallest mooring mast ever designed was the spire of the Empire State Building which was originally constructed to serve as a mooring mast, although soon after converted for use as a television and radio transmitter tower〔http://www.lnl.com/esbantennas.htm〕 due to the discovered infeasibility of mooring an airship, for any length of time, to a very tall mast in the middle of an urban area.〔
