The spray tank assembly consists of a tank, a compressed air cylinder, projection pipe and nozzle and the necessary valves. The tank is dome shaped and tapers slightly to-wards the rear; it has a capacity of 35 gallons. The compressed air connections and re-ducing valve are located on the back of the tank and are protected by a conical shield to reduce wind resistance. The top of the the tank is fitted with a suspension lug for at-taching the tank to a plane. The projection pipe is fitted to the bottom of the tank and extends vertically for 12 inches and then points horizontally to the rear for 12 inches. Any one of 3 sizes of spray nozzles may be attached to this pipe. The 5 quart compres-sed air cylinder fits into a poc-ket in the bottom rear of the tank; it is connected to the pressure reducing as-sembly which reduces the pressure from 2250 to 45 pounds per square inch.
The filling plug is located at the top of the tank near the front. The tank contents may be released either by a mechanical closure device operated by the "Spray Tank Fuze 34" (II–A–3), or by means of the Magnetic Spray Tank Valve (II–A–2). Either device is attached to the end of the projection pipe. The complete tank assembly weighs 150 pounds when empty.
Another model (S 200 V/1) of this spray tank has a shorter projection tube and a modified pressure reducing system.
The photo in the link showsa SCI - Smoke Curtain Installation under the winglet of a Lysander - The SCI though they could be used to spray poison gas, were never used in such a capability but as smoke screen dispensers. Various models existed (differing just by their length and diameter): 250lbs, 500lbs and 1000lbs SCI, the most common being the 250lbs SCI,It looks similar to a tank used by Britain on aircraft such as the Lysander intended to spray poison gas across the battlefield.
