A press for forming the ends of tubes has associated therewith an automatic conveyer system comprising means 8 for arranging the tubes with their axes parallel, means 5 for carrying the tubes in steps in a direction transverse to their longitudinal axes, means 6 for moving each tube longitudinally in a forward direction to a position A in which the. next transverse movement thereof will position it in a press die 2, and means 7 acting on a tube after it has been moved transversely out of the die for moving it longitudinally in a reverse direction. The tubes pass from the supply 8 on to a number of racks 5 each having notches 5a-5d for receiving the tubes and which raise the tubes and then move them transversely. The tube at A is moved longitudinally by rollers 6 against a stop 9. The racks 5 then move it into the die, in which the end is formed, and then into position C where it is withdrawn longitudinally by rollers - 7 and finally discharged from the press. In other embodiment, Fig. 3, the tubes are fed by a screw conveyer 8 to a sloping bed 15 having a stop 10 operated by a cam 11 for holding back the tubes and an ejector 12 operated by a cam 13 for moving the tubes from a notch 14 ; the tubes are held back if the capacity of the press is sufficient for one tube only to be worked during each stroke or if it is desired to cool and grease the dies. The tubes then roll on to the rollers 6. The tube passes in succession through two sets of dies 2a, 4a and 2b, 4b. The ends of the tubes may be formed whilst they are cold or hot. In the latter case a heating coil 16 is provided. The press may be operated hydraulically or by a crank or eccentric.

Class 123(1) Corrosion of oil tanks carrying sea water ballast in oil tanker ships is prevented by passing a current from an external source between an anode 6 suspended in the seawater by means of its supply cable 3 and the tank structure, the anode assembly consisting of an anode 11, Fig. 3, of, for example, iron or aluminium, which is contained in a cage 12 of insulating material, for example, wood or synthetic resin. The anode assembly 6 is lowered into the tank through a shaft 2 which projects downwardly into the sea-water, any gas evolved from the anode rising into the top of the shaft from which it is vented through a pipe 7. The shaft may be fixed permanently into an opening in the deck or may be made readily dismountable so that the anode assembly and shaft can be removed and stowed when an oil cargo is to be loaded. The cage 12 prevents damage to the anode and the possibility of short circuits and sparking if the anode assembly is inadvertently raised before the current supply is broken.
