	Patent 4069634: Ground effect vehicle structure
		The lower segment of each caisson transverse frame is constituted by a portion of the upper beam of a crosspiece of the platform, and the lower longitudinal edges of the caisson are integrated with the upper beams of two girders.
		Ground effect vehicle structure as claimed in claim 4 wherein the normal and oblique tubes are bevelled at their ends, toward the outside, the weld between a foot and the corresponding end of a tube being made between the surface of the bevel and that of the foot.
		In the case of a single longitudinal caisson on the axis of the apparatus, such a structure is analogous to that of an airplane, the caisson resembling the fuselage, and the platform being analogous to wings running all along the fuselage.

	Patent 4534267: Self-propelled armored vehicle
		In this position, wheel trains 6 and 7 supporting forward casemate 1 and after caisson 2, respectively, are in the lowered position such that ground clearance is sufficient for the vehicle to move without the lower part of the forward casemate and of the after caisson coming in contact with obstacles on the ground.
		The vehicle can, when the blade is lowered, act as its own ground excavator, something or particular advantage when the vehicle's crew wants to "dig in" the vehicle in a camouflage pit and offer a smaller target to enemy fire.
		The depth of the excavation made by the vehicle obviously will depend on the adjustment, simultaneously, or selectively, of the variable-height suspension of the forward casemate and after caisson, as well as on the depth to which the blade is lowered.

		GPS units are mounted on the corners of the caisson and will allow engineers to use data from satellites to calculate the caisson’s position.
		One beam stationed on the shore will be aimed at the caisson’s centerline (which also represents the center of the future eastbound roadway).
		Once the caisson is positioned and all air is released, engineers expect it to sink about one foot into the seabed.

		GIG HARBOR – On Thursday, January 15, the second of two bridge caissons (tower foundations) is scheduled to set down on the Narrows seabed as part of the ongoing $849 million project to build a parallel Tacoma Narrows Bridge.
		Actual placement of the caisson on the seabed is the most critical part of the process, and as such is the most closely monitored.
		At any point in the process, if crews determine that the caisson is not at the ideal location for touchdown, they can pump air into the system to increase the caisson’s buoyancy, lift it off the seabed, and reposition it again.

		Although not themselves classed as safety critical, the caissons obviously perform a vital role on the platform, and if they are out of commission it is quite likely that oil and gas production will have to be interrupted.
		Monitoring the condition of these caissons is not easy, since any significant corrosion that occurs tends to affect the inside of the pipe as a result of galvanic action between the noble metal components of the pump and the nearby steel wall.
		The vehicle was simply driven up to the caisson and its thrusters were used to push the probe against the pipe.
