This type of cart entered USAF service in 1969 and also was designed for use with argon and nitrogen. The use of liquid oxygen as a source of breathable oxygen was introduced in the late 1950s as a means of saving space and weight over the gaseous oxygen systems then in use in Air Force aircraft.

Fire Suppression Kit
This 1,000-pound kit was developed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, to provide quick aid in fighting aircraft crash fires. The tank contained 83 gallons of water and foam, but when this mixture reached the air at the nozzle, it expanded to more than eight times its volume to produce about 690 gallons of fire-fighting foam. The kit could be picked up from its trailer in a cargo sling by an HH-43 crash-rescue helicopter and lifted to the fire site. A heater was mounted on the trailer to prevent the tank contents from freezing when on "ready alert" status at an airbase in cold weather. (U.S. Air Force photo)
