Previously M. Sauvant had compared the construction of his pilot seat to the position of a hen's egg contained within an ostrich egg. If the ostrich egg were dropped and smashed, he said, the hen's egg would remain intact. He once dropped a sheep and six eggs safely from 500 feet in a model of his ship (TIME, Dec. 14).
