| Green Canvas bag Gurnee Can Coveralls inside the gurnee can- difficult to remove Gurnee Cans were used prominantly during the C-3 Expedition in Crystal Cave. This gurnee can is very dented. From The Caves Beyond: To solve the logistical problem posed by the Crawlway, John Spence undertook the development of a metal canister for transporting supplies. He and Russ Gurnee designed and built four canisters for use in the Crawl- way. Working in Gurnee's sheet-metal shop, they placed a metal cone on the forward end of the tapered, galvanized steel cylinder. It could be dragged by a rope tied to a ring at the point of the cone and would not snag. A canvas cover closed the rear end after it was loaded. |
