[Also in Division F4] A ship's hull 30, Fig. 3 (not shown), having insulation 31, has a main tank 33 therein for containing liquid surrounded by a second tank 36, each tank being formed from a non-metallic membrane of a flexible and elastic material, e.g. nitrile rubber or polyester urethane. The space 37 between the tanks is filled with a pressurized gas, a flexible cellular material or a liquid. Alternatively, the upper part of the space may be filled with cellular material and the separated lower part by a pressurized gas. The space 37 may also be divided into several sealed chambers by membranes which extend between the tanks, each chamber being filled with gas at different pressures. Inflatable reinforcing ribs (Fig. 2, not shown) filled with an inert gas may be arranged on the internal surface of the main and/or the second tank.

959,945. Soil stabilization. CONCH INTERNATIONAL METHANE Ltd. April 18, 1963, No. 15244/63. Heading E1F. To permit of the formation of a frozen zone of soil in the ground freeze pipes 2 are inserted, preferably equidistantly from one another, into the ground along the line of the top of the soil zone to be frozen, the pipes being alternately vertical and at an angle of from 3-30 degrees to the vertical. If the zone encircles an intended excavation the refrigerant inlet to each of those freeze pipes, the bottoms of which are nearest the excavation, is in the external annulus of the freeze pipe and the refrigerant inlet into each of the remaining freeze pipes is into the inner pipe of each of said pipes.
