Practical Course in Wooden Boat and Ship Building e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The text is the outgrowth and development of a pioneer course organized early in the war by Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, N. Y., in response to the de mand caused by shortage of skilled labor in these industries. It was a study to know how to organize the work effectively, to select only those problems that otherwise might take years of labor in the industry for these men to solve, and to present the prob lems progressively and in such a way that the men would grasp the basic principles in the shortest possible time.
