I am sure they will. They don't waste it. They only need to replace that

It tells you something about people in the 1930s that they were willing to
fly in these
Greetings, and a great 2014 to all.
I am guessing that what was meant was that the Zeppelin would be tethered while

heat the gas inside to a high temperature to supply
