Abstract: Polyether polyamino methylene phosphonates, when added to various industrial water systems in concentrations between 0.1 mg/L and 50 mg/L, stabilize soluble zinc, manganese and iron ions and their reaction products, in desirable forms and reduced particle sizes. In particular, this stabilization can be achieved under severe conditions which include elevated pH, high dissolved solids content, and high saturation levels of calcium carbonate.

Abstract: A method for stabilizing metal ions in recirculating water systems is disclosed. This method utilizes an admixture comprising a) an ethylenically unsaturated water-soluble polymer and/or a water soluble phosphonate, b) methylene bis(thiocyanate), and c) 2-(thiocyanomethylthio)benzothiazole to solubilize metal ions thereby reducing deposition and corrosion.

Abstract: A novel attachment for a motor vehicle transmission jack of the type having a lift arm adapted to raise and lower motor vehicle transmission parts at its forward end. The attachment is adapted to support a fully assembled 4-wheel drive transmission unit, including the transfer case and the motor vehicle transmission support bracket, independently of a motor vehicle. The attachment includes a base member adapted to be connected to the forward portion of the lift arm and having a support portion adapted to supportably engage the motor vehicle transmission support bracket substantially vertical of the forward end of said lift arm. The attachment also includes a forward support member rigidly secured to the base member, having a support portion adapted to supportably engage the forward portion of the transmission. The support portions of the base member and the forward support member are spaced relative to each other to support the motor vehicle transmission unit in a substantially horizontal position.
