Abstract: A water tight prehung door for a ship bulkhead, the door being formed from a plate with a peripheral band welded thereto, being stiffened by a plurality of channels extending from one side of the door to the other and having elongated dimples in the plate disposed between the channels; a double directional gasket which buckles when closed is contained in a partial enclosure and cooperates with a dogging mechanism utilizing a parallel bar linkage which moves rollers over wedge shaped lugs to dog the door closed and form a water tight seal irrespective of which side of the door is subjected to pressure.

Abstract: A double directional gasket which, when contained within a partial enclosure, forms a double directional seal under low sealing forces due to the toggle like action of the relatively thin central portion of the gasket loading the seating area generally 90 degrees to the pressure loading on the relatively thin central portion.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for applying an ordinarily high viscosity lubricant as an atomized spray onto metal working surfaces without the use of high velocity air. The method comprises the steps of heating the lubricant to a temperature of approximately 170.degree. to 300.degree. F., hydraulically atomizing the lubricant by feeding the lubricant through a nozzle under a pressure of approximately 30 to 70 pounds per square inch whereby the relative velocity of the lubricant with respect to ambient atmosphere is increased upon exiting an orifice in the nozzle, and directing the lubricant onto the metal working surfaces.
