Abstract: Molded concrete building blocks consisting of three block walls and block webs so located as to provide an increased path through the width of the block to reduce transmission of thermal and acoustic energy. The blocks may incorporate features, e.g., male projections and female recesses or an offset inner wall, so that mortar may not be required for assembly. The blocks may be configured so that interior apertures may be vertically aligned when the blocks are assembled in courses, providing adaptability to structure enhancing reinforcement and insulation materials, and to interior wall installation of wiring and plumbing.

Abstract: A general delivery load carrying vehicle comprising a unitized load and stress bearing monocoque body and a front wheel drive engine unit. The body comprises a base floor, side walls and a top wall or roof structurally interconnected to support the vertical and torsional forces on the vehicle. The base floor has a length sufficient to provide a cab area and a load carrying area. The base floor is such as to provide a floor in the cab area that is at the same height throughout and at a level such that persons entering the vehicle may step into the vehicle directly in a single step without the need for additional structural steps or running boards. The side walls have openings adjacent the cab area for entrance and exit and one end wall defines structural pillars for receiving the windshield.
