Shipbuilding in iron and steel / a practical treatise . . er ends ofthe half-beams are connected with these carlings by single or doubleangle-irons, usually the latter.

By this means the breadth of the opening in the deck ismuch diminished, and in some cases a similar plan is followed inorder to reduce the length also by means of plate headledges* andlight fore and aft carlings. This portable framing is generallyfastened with nut and screw bolts at such of the hatchways asfrequently require to be opened. BITTS AROUND MASTS. The sketches in Fig. 220 illustrate a common method of secur-insf the heels of bitts to iron beams. It will be seen from the side S7DE \]\£^ /iftflV/lRrSH/P VIEIV.
