Bevelings

Shipbuilding

The windings or angles of the timbers, etc., a term applied to any deviation from a square or right angle. Of beveling there are two sorts, denominated standing bevelings and under bevelings. By the former is meant an obtuse angle, or that which is without a square; and by the latter is understood an acute angle, or that which is within a square.
