Zeppelin bombs

Hey all together I am new to this forum. I have a question on Zeppelin armament: All information I could find so far on the subject says that the "old" "Goldschmidt"-type or "Carbonit"-type pearshaped bombs were used on Zeppelins. Since these were replaced with the P.u.W. bomb type, the question is if these were also used on the Zeppelin. This seems logical as this replacement took place in aircraft use. Google did not reveal anything, nor does the book by the authority on the subjet Douglas H. Robinson.
Any information on the subject would be much appreciated!
Thanks alot in advance, Philipp.

Phillip,

I'm surprised that nobody has responded to you yet.

I haven't found much online to answer your question, but the information on the following link might help:
