...... I'm at work atm and there is a CHEP pallet loaded with 4 drums beside my work station, and the measured height of each in turn is 88.5cm /89.5cm /87cm / 84cm. They are all 60cm in diameter.
Well bugger me i would swear the bands are more than 1 foot apart , that was the theory on my estimate.

Would you believe there was actually a P76 club in Melbourne at one time.
Not far from me there was a house that had a lot of them he was always selling them or wrecking for parts.
yep 2 foot 11 incheslimpalot said:
I absolutely don't know, but back in the Antarctica (1980) we used to get rid of our aviation turbo kerosene by stacking 44 * 44 gallon drums of it, wrapped in det cord with timers, way out on the sea ice and letting rip.

As kids in Sth West NSW we spent 6 to 8 hours a day on them as entertainment, on their side we'd walk backwards to go forward and vice versa. To turn we'd walk on the outside edge if it was a tight turn we'd alternate from opposing outside edges and walk either backwards or forwards to make the turn. We all had good balance and core strength to the point we were rippled with a six pack gut until we started drinking booze :lol: The booze not only affected the 6 packs, balance too :lol:
I've seen a couple of people that would lay one down and then lift it onto a low ute... full one :argh:
Here was one of the day-time let-offs to welcome a Danish supply ship into port. Again 44g drums of atk.
Cleared of penguins and seals before hand, but quite frowned upon these days

No doubt the Danish ship was bringing more 44's of kerosene.
Yep. After a while the wax separates in the atk and the fuel is un-useable in helos.
Most diesel fuel for the station's gennys was pumped ashore. You can see the big hose reel in the background. (~1.5km long).
I worked the barge, but much supplies were bought in by helos. 1980 was a big building year. The black plastic wrapped pallets were mostly concrete.
Sorry to deviate.......

Bigwave, around Christmas 1980 I was chasing skip on the 27mgz CB, caught some coming from Australian Antarctic Base.
Held around for about 10min before moving away from my location.
Just some trivia.
