By Isaiah Cleeve Gordon Cooper and Edward Lewis Attwood

Book Overview

""A Textbook of Laying Off: Or The Geometry of Shipbuilding"" is a comprehensive guide to the principles of shipbuilding, written by Edward Lewis Attwood and originally published in 1918. The book covers a range of topics related to the geometry of shipbuilding, including the laying off of lines, the construction of curves, the development of surfaces, and the calculation of areas and volumes. Attwood's approach is highly technical and mathematical, making use of advanced principles of geometry and trigonometry to explain the various processes involved in shipbuilding. The book is intended for use by students and professionals in the field of naval architecture, as well as anyone with an interest in the history and science of shipbuilding. Despite its age, ""A Textbook of Laying Off"" remains a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the complex geometry of ship design and construction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
