The new imperial encyclopaedia, or, Dictionary of the sciences and arts : comprehending also the whole circle of miscellaneous literature ... . cleats, kevels, and ranges, by which the ropes are fastened,are afterwards bolted or nailed to the sides in different places^The rudder, being fitted with its irons, is next hung to the sternapost ; and the tiller, or bar, by which it is managed, let into amortise at its upper end. The scuppers, or leaden tubes, thatcarry the water off from the decks, are then placed in holes cutthrough the ships sides ; and the standards, represented in themidship-frame, bolted to the beams and sides above the decks towhich they belong. The poop-lanthorns are last fixed upon theircranes over the stern : aiidthe bilge-ways, or cradles, jilaced underthe bottom, to conduct the ship steadily into the water whilstlauiicliing. Our limits prevent from entering into a more parti-cular description of the several parts and con*truclion of ships ;.but what h;is been advanced, together with the figures, may serveto give a general hlea of the subject ; which is all that can belooked for iu this work.
