Abstract: A multiple container and rack system is disclosed in which the unit may be used both as a transport and storage module. The rack assembly permits stacking of each module one on top of another. The frame permits the transmission of vertical and longitudinal loads therethrough. Means are provided to secure the frame assembly together such that individual containers may be secured therein.

Abstract: In a pneumatic tire of the type manufactured with the carcass in the final formed condition of a preselected configuration, the tire is provided with a plurality of breaker plies which are positioned radially from the circumferential cord belt. The breaker plies are applied to the tire in the formed condition thereby eliminating any "pantographing" of the breaker plies. Each breaker ply is positioned so that the reinforcing material thereof is disposed at an angle to the vertical plane of the tire. A radial reinforcing means is placed about the carcass to prevent cross-sectional circumferential expansion of the tire upon pressurization.

Abstract: A collapsible container is disclosed in which the container is cut from a single blank. The blank may be folded so as to form an angled front panel together with an open front area for entrance into and out of the container. Cooperative locking means formed in the blank permit relative locking and holding of the respective panels when the container is in the opened or assembled condition. The end opposite the open front area is suitably closed.

Abstract: An engine enclosure is disclosed having improved sound attenuating capabilities. The enclosure includes side panels, a front and rear and top and bottom thereof which define the engine area. Doors in the side panels permit access to the engine compartment for service thereof. Sound attenuating material is fastened to the inside surfaces of the side panels, doors and rear fire wall members. Acoustic baffles cooperate with the attenuating material to attenuate noise emanating from the engine compartment. Openings in the members permit flow of air into the engine compartment to satisfy engine cooling requirements. Sealing means cooperating between adjoining members provide for further sound attenuation.
