As is well-known the flat bot-tomed tank of ordinary construction mustbe lifted off the deck every time it is-necessary to renew or calk, rivets orcalk the seams. The construction of theAcme-Flanged tank is such that the en-tire bottom rests firmly and smoothly ottthe tank floor or deck, and consequently. in I WIS OF till-.

Theprincipal advantages of the marked im-provement in the Acme-Flanged tank arethat the tank, being formed from plateswith edges turned towards the waterspace, the necessity for placing rivetholes in the top or bottom is tendency to leakage is thereby re-duced tn a minimum, and as a conse- there are no strains by reason of theusual uneven surface of the tank are other important improve-ments to which attention need only becalled to show at a glance their merit-Among these are the methods of sec-tional construction as shown in the ac-companying illustrations.
