Synopsis

Excerpt from The Naval Architect's Shipbuilder's: Pocket-Book of Formulæ, Rules, and Tables and Marine Engineer's and Surveyor's Handy Book of Reference

The need of a new edition of this Pocket-book has arisen through the continual development of the science of Naval Architecture, and the tendency towards standardization and regulation of parts of the structure and equipment of ships. Very many changes have been introduced, and much of the book has been rewritten, but where possible its form has been left unaltered. Its object remains the same as that stated in the Preface to the original edition, viz. to condense into a compact form all data and formulæ that are ordinarily required by the Shipbuilder or Naval Architect.

Amongst the new matter inserted, it is believed that the section on Speed and Horse-power will be useful in enabling ships of ordinary form to be approximately powered from the data therein given; a brief description of modern methods of powering and determining forms suitable from a propulsive standpoint has also been included. The necessity for economizing weight where possible without diminution of strength has led to the sections on Strength of Materials, Riveted Joints, and Stresses in Ships being considerably extended. Information concerning British Standard Sections, Screws, Keys, etc., has also been added, by permission of the Engineering Standards Committee.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
