EVANS WELDING
PROCESS rs TO
BE IN OIL TANK
fsDecial Moline Service


The Moline Oil company is using
the Evans Manufacturing company
welding process in the construction
OF its two $4,000 gallon capacity
tanks.
One of the 25-foot tanks, which
are being built in the open, is
nearly finished and the cylinder
sections on the other will be shaped
as soon as the first is removed and
delivered. Each of the cylinders is
10 feet in diameter.
The Evans company which is
welding the sections, is using a
flange Joint Of the same design
used in the smaller container,
eliminating the rivets which are
ordinarily used to make the tank
leak-proof. Six 900 gallon capacity
tanks, comprising two five-foot sec
tions are to be built on the same
principle.
