transportation of hydrochloric acid or sodium hypochlo rite has been developed by Tough Plastics, Ltd., Weybridge, Surrey; and an example has been loaned to Bakelite, Ltd., for exhibition at the International Plastics Exhibition, which opens at Olympia, London, on June 21. The tank consists of Vybak sheets, formed to the required shape and supported by glass-fibre laminate bonded with polyester resin. The grey, pigmented laminate is then given a coating of isocyanate resin.
Tough Plastics, Ltd., have been using this method of constructing chemicalstorage tanks for the past 2+ years, but this vehicle tank is only the second of this type that they have made—the first was manufactured for a German chemical company. The tank weighs about + ton, compared with 2+ to 3 tons for a rubberlined steel tank of the same capacity. Cleaning is easier, hosing down being all that is necessary, and repainting to prevent corrosion is eliminated.

(gross) at 3.000 r.p.m. governed speed, with a gross torque output of 80 lb.-ft. at 1,800 r.p.m. The Four 99 has agricultural ratings of 37 bl.p. at 3,000 r.p.m. and 64 lb.-ft. at 2.000 r.p.m.
