Abstract: In a method for the manufacture of substantially cylindrical pressurized or liquefied gas tanks first and second portions deformable to open-ended cylindrical shape are stamped out of a same metal sheet, the cylindrical portions then being welded together by their free edges which mated in the sheet. A machine for automatically carrying out the method comprises means for stamping, shaping and assembling the portions.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula ##STR1## WHERE X represents O or S and R represents lower alkyl, cycloalkyl, phenyl or substituted phenyl wherein the substituents are selected from lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, halo and sulfonyl. The compounds are prepared by reacting the .[.carbinolamine.]. .Iadd.ring-opened intermediate,.Iaddend.obtained by reacting cis-1-(3-chloro-2-propenyl)-3,5,7-triaza-1-azoniatricyclo (3,3,1,1.sup.3,7) decane chloride with excess aqueous sodium hydroxide, with an equivalent amount of a corresponding R isocyanate or R isothiocyanate at a low temperature to give the substituted urea or thiourea product. The compounds have antimicrobial activity.

Abstract: Compounds of the .[.formulas.]. .Iadd.formula .Iaddend. ##STR1## wherein X.sup.- is a lower alkyl carboxylate .[.(I).]., a phenylcarboxylate .[.(I).]., a lower alkylsulfonate .[.(II).]. or a phenylsulfonate .[.(II).]. anion, wherein the phenyl ring may have lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, hydroxyl, amino, nitro, bromo or chloro substitution. The compounds are prepared by reacting the .[.carbinolamine.]. .Iadd.ring-opened intermediate .Iaddend.prepared by reacting cis-1-(3-chloro-2-propenyl)-3,5,7-triaza-1-azoniatricyclo(3.3.1.1.sup.3,7) decane chloride with aqueous sodium hydroxide, with a carboxylic or sulfonic acid, as indicated, to form the corresponding 1-cis-(3-chloro-2-propenyl)-3,5,7-triaza-1-azoniatricyclo(3.3.1.1.sup.3,7) decane carboxylate or sulfonate. These compounds have antimicrobial activity.
