Abstract:

Canadian 5-gallon plastic water cans, obtained through US Army Natick Laboratories, were compared to the standard issue metal 5-gallon water can and an off-shore procured white plastic can. The test item was more satisfactory for use in the Vietnam environment than the two cans with which it was compared. Two slight modifications are desired in the test item. Author
