FLIGHT International, 30 January 19- i with Bristol Aerojet Pressure Vessels Bristol Aerojet pressure vessels pack more energy into less space for less weight than any other type of gas storage vessel. They also operate with great reliability at high stress levels. These factors provide considerable benefits in every airborne system which depends upon a reservoir of gas, but most particularly where gaseous energy is used to operate emergency equipment—such as fire extinguishers. The internationally famous Graviner Company uses large numbers of Bristol Aerojet pressure vessels in its fire extinguisher systems for military and civil aircraft, the most recent being the TRIDENT and VC 10. One type of vessel, which was specially made from deep drawn pressings, was not only much lighter but also in- creased the working pressure to 1,500 psi—600 psi more than the vessel previously used. Made of chrome molybdenum steel, heat treated to a minimum ultimate strength of 80 tons per sq in, Bristol Aerojet pressure vessels range from 10 to 2,000-cubic-inch capacity and are made in a large number of shapes to conform to special applications. They have been ordered by many of the leading British airframe and weapon constructors and auxiliary equipment manufacturers. For further information, please write to: P. W. Lawxon, Civil Sales Manager, Bristol Aerojet Limited, Banmll, Weston-Super-Mare, England. Telephone: Banwell 250.
