Abstract: A time delayed cash dispenser is interconnected with a control terminal that is connectable to an electronic funds transfer system. The control terminal is selectively controlled to "override" the timer of the time delayed cash dispenser to enable a user to access and perform transactions through the EFT system. Preferably, the control terminal activates the cash dispenser to vend cash containers containing the authorized cash disbursement. Cash stores in the time delayed cash dispenser are replenished by depositing excess cash from the retail location cash register. The system thus permits cash replenishment in discrete amounts without exposing the entire cash stores and permits a retail establishment to sell cash to customers through the EFT system.

Abstract: The hull has a draught at the rear end, corresponding to the normal position of the ship for deep-water operation, greater than the draught of the front end, the keel line thereof descending correspondingly front to rear. The central or middle draught corresponds to the design draught allowable for operation in shallow water. The hull has a system for trimming the fully laden ship employing stern and bow fuel tanks. For shallow water operation, the hull is lowered at the bow and raised correspondingly at the stern, by displacement of fuel from the stern tank to the bow tank, into a trim position in which the keel line extends parallel to the water line. This construction enables the screw to be optimized substantially independently of draught-imposed limitations and the screw can have a diameter greater by the amount of stern lift than fixedly mounted screws of conventional designs.
