So Array_Hash_type is an array of "ptr_array"s.  Since

     ...
a ptr_array is a record, not a pointer.  So Array_Hash_type is
an array of records (which may contain pointers, etc).

   Assuming that "p_node" (which you didn't define in your posting)
is an access type (aka pointer), then
   type Array_Hash_type is array (10..HASH_SIZE) of p_node;
would be an array of pointers.
