Not illustrated. 1919 Excerpt: ...explain the way to lay out an elliptical stern when I explain Laying Down a Steel Vessel. I will next explain how the bevels of frame timbers are obtained and templates of their shape made. 2g. Obtaining Frame Timder Bevels Every frame of a wooden vessel must be laid out full size, either on mould loft floor, or on a movable board platform, and the bevels along outer face of each frame must be accurately determined and laid out. This is necessary to enable the ship-carpenters to properly shape and bevel the frames. In all vessels the frame timbers are spaced a certain distance apart and this distance is the same for all frames except cants; but owing to the fact that a vessel narrows at bow and stern, and from deck to keel, the bevel on outside of each frame varies from deck to keel and no two frames, except those along the middle square body, have the same bevel. This being the case, it is necessary for mould loftsman to record the bevels of each frame in such a manner that the ship-carpenter can use his record as a guide for beveling frames before they are assembled and put in place in vessel. The way frame timber bevels are taken and recorded is explained below. On Fig. 34 I show a few of the forward body frames of a wooden vessel (as laid down on mould loft floor) and for the purpose of making my explanation clear I give you the information that frame spacing (from center to center) is 36 inches. This is the "room and space." It stands to reason that if each frame outline shown on a body plan of vessel is a known equal distance apart (in this case 36 inches) the distance from outline shape of one frame to outline shape of the next will accurately represent the amount of decrease in width of vessel at that point and in that distance (36 inches)...
