Description: Produced by US Office of education. Presents in considerable detail the work of a shipfitter in sub-assembling a side frame. Views of a ship model with animation, serve to show and explain the smooth tapering surface of a streamlined hull and the role of side frames in holding the ship in shape. A detailed explanation is given of the reversing of templates in laying off pairs of frames. Attention is called to the fact that when unusual pressure and strain are to be counteracted the web frame is used.
