July, 1918 Boston, in 1907. This board formulated a standard designed primarily to insure safety. During the next four years in- formation on boilers was collected from a wide variety of sources‘ and bulletins were occasionally issued to boiler manufacturers and inspectors. A_ set of rules issued on Aug. 5, 1909, was the last and most important of the bulletins issued by the Massachusetts board. In 1911, Col. E. D. Meier, then presi- dent of the American Society of Me- chanical Engineers, suggested that the society undertake the work of stand- ardization of steam boilers in a. more HE Cuartes M. StruyeEn, first of a fleet of 4-mast schooners being constructed at a southern yard, recently completed her maiden voy- age. This trip was watched with par-. ticular interest as the vessel was the first to be constructed from a new design, which had been brought out by Henry J. Gielow, senior member of Gielow & Orr, naval architects and vessel brokers, New York City, to meet the present tremendous demand for the speedy and economical production ot bottoms. The vessel, which is shown in the ac- companying illustration, has a length over all of 190 feet, 6 inches, a beam of 37 feet, and minimum depth of hold of 13 feet. The keel is of white oak, 14x14 inches, with scarphs, 6 feet long, bolted together. White cak is used for the 12x20-inch stem, and 17- inch sided stern post. The forward deadwood extends up on the stem to meet the apron and runs down on, the keel so as to make a good lap. This is bolted through the stem and keel while the aft deadwood, of white oak, extends complete manner than was possible by the state of Massachusetts. A com- mittee was accordingly appointed with John A. Stevens, who had made a com- prehensive survey of boilers in Europe and America, as~chairman. This com- mittee proceeded on lines similar to those followed by the original Massa- chusetts board and consulted all quali- fied authorities, including manufacturers and users of boilers. Bulletins showing the status of the work were published periodically. At the present time the A. S. M. E. code specifies in detail the chemical and By B. K. Price down on the rider keelsons, and is sided 14 inches. A heavy white oak transom sided 12 inches is bolted tu the stern post. White oak frames are used throughout, being 14 inches at the heel and 12 inches at the planksheer. Yellow pine keelsons, three tiers wide and three tiers high, are all scarphed with 6-foot scarphs and _ thoroughly bolted. Yellow pine, 10x14 inches, also is used for deck beams, except hatch beams and partner beams, which are 12x 14 inches, molded 14 inches at cen- ters and 8 inches at end, spaced 4 fee: THE MARINE REVIEW 3 is physical properties of all material en- tering into the construction of boilers, and gives rules, formulas and_ tables which have been checked and rechecked by men of national reputation and in many cases verified by testing labora-: tories. In many cases, rules or formu- las were withheld until actual tests in laboratories had been made in order to prove the mathematics. The code has been adopted, or is in the process of adoption in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, California, and other states. i from centers, and have hackmatack knees under each end of every beam thoroughly bolted. Three hatches about 14x18 feet, with yellow pine coaming 24 inches high and covers of cedar 1%-inch dressed, tongued and grooved, are thoroughly ironed on top and in- side, and are provided with two hatcl bars at each hatch to set up with screw bolts. Stanchions are white oak. Gar- boards, planking and planksheer are yellow pine. Decking and_ siringers also are yellow pine while the deck beams are white oak. The masts are all selected Oregon pine. <A _ hoisting engine, belted with drum for hoisting cargo, one 6-inch wrecking pump and ‘one 3-inch suction pump are _ installed. The vessel can carry 475,000 feet of lumber. On her maiden trip she loaded 930 tons of coal at Newport News for Martinique and made the trip in 20 days. Under permit to construct for private account, the Liberty Shipbuilding Corp. of Delaware expects to build concrete cargo boats on Mobile bay.
