The Process of Ship Building

摘要

The most valuable portion of the book covers the topics of main engine shop trials and inspections, engine installation, and shaft installation and alignment. The pictures are excellent, and the breadth of topic coverage is impressive. The author relies far more on pictures than diagrams, which is one of the work's strengths. "Tricks of the trade," passed on throughout the book, will stand the serious student of shipbuilding in good stead.
