Abstract: The invention provides a barrier means for a wooden flooring, especially useful for truck trailers and shipping containers. The flooring for such structures is comprised of a plurality of substantially parallel, wooden strips having their longitudinal edges in abutting relationship. A barrier film or fabric, which is permeable to vapor and impermeable to liquid, is disposed on the undersurface of the flooring, and discontinuous means adjoins or bonds the film or fabric to the flooring at least at the perimeter of the flooring.

Abstract: An apparatus for washing and drying phonograph records including a tank to contain a washing solution, and a phonograph record to be cleaned is mounted vertically for rotation within the tank. The washing solution is drawn in the bottom of the tank by a pump and discharged through jets against opposite faces of the rotating record. Mounted adjacent the jets is a pair of brushes which rotate against the opposite faces of the record to clean the same. After cleaning, air is discharged downwardly from an air tube against the opposite faces of the record to prevent the washing solution from dripping onto the record label and to the dry the record.
