The main effort of ingenuity has been to prevent access of fire to the contents. Moody's tank (Fig. 6192) has a dome upon its top from which extends a tube which terminates under water. By this means direct communication between the interior of the tank and the open air is avoided. See also oil-tank, Figs. 3386-3394. Snyder's
