rAA NEW 35-ft.-long tank made of rubber-coated rayon, with an outer surface of neoprene, for carrying 3,800 gal. of liquid, can be rolled up to occupy a space 7 ft. 4 in. long by 2 ft. 1 in. in diameter. It is finding wide employment in the U.S.A.
When filled, the tank is 4 ft. 8 in. in diameter and its unladen weight is 1,040 lb. The ends are sealed with metal closures. Larger tanks may be made for railway and waterway transport.
Among the road users, the Mutrie Corporation, Waltham, Mass., carry liquid alum in the tanks to paper mills, employing ordinary lorries which return with the empty tanks and loads of paper or timber.
The Industrial Molasses Corporation, Leonia, N.J., formerly employing conventional metal tanks, found it economical to distribute molasses only within 150 miles of depots. Now the distribution radius has been doubled, as the economy of operation has been enhanced by the ability to carry grain or cattle on return journeys.
