Not illustrated. 1916 Excerpt: ...partitions and backs as required. The partitions are usually of cast iron, extending to the top of the trough only, but may be of marble or slate. In Fig. 230, at the left, is shown a section of an automatic flush tank of the type used with range closets and urinals. Some of its virtue lies in the fact that there are no moving parts in the tank.

These tanks are wood cases lined with sheet copper, --some have been lined with sheet lead, but in the larger sizes for long ranges they are heavy enough at best.
