Let us suppose we have atank 15 feet in height with a flat bottom ^ inches thick. The tankis to be supported on beams in a building and we want to know howclose together the beams should be spaced. From the diagram wefollow the 15 foot line across until it intersects the Y% curve andthen from the lower margin we see that the spacing should be 24^inches. In the same way the plate thickness may be determined ifthe spacing is known. Some Mexican oils are very much heavier than given in this table. 234 THE LOCOMOTIVE.
