Aluminum 72's were distributed by U.S. Divers....stamped USD at
the neck. The working pressure for this cylinder is 2475 (+10%).

This is a miserable tank....one of the worst we have ever seen....
floats all over the place (full or empty). Its best use around
here is that of being relegated to the workbench role for testing
intermediate pressures on repair regs and never gets wet.

Don't waste your time on this one.   D.
