I know that, thank you !
1 - I said "Zepplin" as a generic word for all airships, like "Frigidaire"
for all refrigerators.
2 - After the 1st world war, France has used german-made airships (zepplin
or not) as post-war compensation. But the navigation instruments aboard
were french-made as ... the "navigraphe" by Le Prieur !

Thanks for the help. :) I'll pass the info along to my boss. He was the one
who asked.
