That the United States Court of Claims be, and it is hereby, authorized and directed to hear and determine the claim of H. C. Ericsson for compensation for the adoption and use by the Government of the United States of a certain invention relating to an antiexplosive and non-inflammable gasoline tank, for which letters patent of the United States, numbered 1381175 was issued to him June 14, 1921. Said claim shall not be considered as barred because of the use of the patented device by the Government for more than two veal’s, or by any existing statute of limitations, nor because of the fact that the claimant was in the military service of the United States at the time the patented article was invented.
