Abstract: A fuel tank comprises an interior wall, a sump, and a baffle that comprises a center fitting, a full-length containment petal, a partial-length containment petal, a dump tube. The full-length containment petal comprises a full-length side edge, extending radially outward from the center fitting. The partial-length containment petal comprises a partial-length side edge, extending radially outward from the center fitting. The dump tube is connected to the sump. The full-length side edge of the full-length containment petal is longer than the partial-length side edge of the partial-length containment petal. All of the partial-length side edge of the partial-length containment petal is attached to a linear portion of the full-length side edge of the full-length containment petal.

Abstract: An embossing machine and method is provided in which the mass of the carriage assembly carrying the card to and from various operations in the machine is significantly reduced by the utilization of a card carrying carriage mounted for movement in one direction from side to side on the machine via a stationary motor. The carriage is mounted on a guide bar which, together with the carriage, moves from the front to the back of the machine via a stationary motor. A new card supply hopper is arranged to stack cards vertically and feed them to the carriage one-by-one as the carriage approaches the hopper. An embossing assembly is operated by a single interposer arranged in a crank drive or two interposers arranged between actuating levers and the rams of associated male and female embossing wheels. A topper assembly minimizes foil usage by winding up only that foil which has been used during the topping of the previous card.

Abstract: Apparatus for taking spatial measurements from recorded radiographic or photographic films includes a co-ordinate measuring framework on which are statically mounted a video camera and light source, and on which can be placed the film. The camera scans a small area of the film which is illuminated by the light source and the film is movable beneath the camera to enable any part thereof to be scanned. The information produced by the camera is passed to a video-microdensitometer which displays on its output screen an image of the area of the film being scanned. Measurement is achieved by lining features on the displayed image against a datum line by movement of the film below the camera in the framework and noting the co-ordinates of the new positions of the film on the frameworks.
