And can liquid oxygen be easily transported any considerable distance ?" "Yes, sir.

In what is known as Place's Vacuum-jacketed Insulated Container, it can be kept for weeks at a time without any appreciable loss." Flint pondered a moment, then asked, again: "Could large tanks, holding say, a million gallons, be built on that principle, for wholesale storage?
And could vacuum-jacketed pipes be laid, for conveying liquid oxygen or its gas ?" "No reason why not, sir.

Yes, I may say all that is quite feasible." "Very well, then," snapped Flint.
