The balloon's silk envelope is roughly spherical and has a diameter of 9.8 metres (32 ft). Its wooden gondola is very small, measuring 1.14 metres (45 in) by 0.75 metres (30 in) and its railing has a height of 1.05 metres (41 in). The balloon envelope is a replica, with the original displayed folded in a glass case nearby."@en . "4255"^^ . .
