Diagonal Ribband

Shipbuilding

A narrow plank, made to a line formed on the half-breadth plan, by taking the intersections of the diagonal line with the timbers in the body-plan to where it cuts the middle line in its direction, and applying it to their respective stations on the half-breadth-plan, which forms a curve to which the ribband is made as far as the cant-body extends, and the square frame adjoining.
