25. The tank rested on the backs of twelve bronze bulls that faced outwards, three facing in each direction.
26. The sides of the tank were 75 millimetres thick. Its rim was like the rim of a cup, curving outwards like the petals of a lily. The tank held about 40,000 litres.
27. Huram also made ten bronze carts; each was 1.8 metres long, 1.8 metres wide, and 1.3 metres high.
28. They were made of square panels which were set in frames,
29. with the figures of lions, bulls, and winged creatures on the panels; and on the frames, above and underneath the lions and bulls, there were spiral figures in relief.
30. Each cart had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. At the four corners were bronze supports for a basin; the supports were decorated with spiral figures in relief.
31. There was a circular frame on top for the basin. It projected upwards 45 centimetres from the top of the cart and eighteen centimetres down into it. It had carvings round it.
32. The wheels were 66 centimetres high; they were under the panels, and the axles were of one piece with the carts.
33. The wheels were like chariot wheels; their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all of bronze.
34. There were four supports at the bottom corners of each cart, which were of one piece with the cart.
35. There was a 22 centimetre band round the top of each cart; its supports and the panels were of one piece with the cart.
36. The supports and panels were decorated with figures of winged creatures, lions, and palm trees, wherever there was space for them, with spiral figures all round.
37. This, then, is how the carts were made; they were all alike, having the same size and shape.
38. Huram also made ten basins, one for each cart. Each basin was 1.8 metres in diameter, and held about 800 litres.
