Likely on thick cylinders flat-bottomed cylinder boots add a fair amount of 
drag. I know that a flat bottom makes cylinders easier to stack and move (long 
ago I worked in a factory's stores for a while, and we found that (with 
blowtorch-sized cylinders) round-bottomed cylinders were troublesome to stand 
and move, and we called them "round-arsed 'uns"). But a plain round end is 
less drag.
