The star’s many admirers will hp

one of the most wholesome characters

to large tank farms, or directly to the
refinery by pipe lines or tank cure
"Each of these «top« roiuitltUtes a
different da»« aa regards rate of evap

as follows: (1) Filling a tank by over

by bottom connections; (3) storage In

(4) storage In »mall tank« on the

(5) storage in 37,<190 or .*10,000 barre’
steel tanks which have so-called

“Filling the tank by overshot

the velocity Had size of the stream,

allows a high rate.

Some of the principle conclusions
drawn from tills work are:
“1. Tin- major portion of the evnp

••2. Even lifter leaving the lense oil
is subjected to a large loss from this
