Abstract: An automobile carrier is disclosed for use on two standard air cargo pallets to carry four automobiles. The carrier for two automobiles is affixed across two pallets with one automobile over the other, and the carrier for the other two automobiles is affixed across the pallets beside the first. The carrrier can be dismantled for shipping back to the starting point. Upon erecting the carrier for reuse, a variety of adjustments can be made for mixing automobile sizes on the top and bottom. These adjustments also keep the combination of any four automobiles within the dimensional limits of the pallets, the aircraft door opening and the ground equipment.

Abstract: A weatherproof cover for an opening in a cargo container comprising a flexible curtain secured across the top of the opening by a header, rails secured to the sides and bottom of the opening with flanges extending away from the opening, and a cable in a tunnel sewed into the periphery of the curtain which overhangs the rail flanges. One end of the cable is secured to the header on one side, and the other end is secured to a sheave in a ratchet assembly on the other side of the header. The ratchet assembly is used to pull the cable tight against the rails under their flanges. A fitting on the curtain comprised of a hub and a sheave is provided at each lower corner for the cable. The hubs of the curtain fittings are placed over posts on gussets at the lower corners of the container opening. Diagonal cables in tunnels sewn in back of the curtain reinforce the curtain and the container itself.
