Synopsis
Excerpt from Report to the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation on Electric Welding and Its Application in United States of America to Ship Construction
Prior to returning to England, I submit this series of reports in which I have incorporated the results of welding investigations during my three months' stay in America.
During that time I have been loaned by the British Admiralty to the Emergency Fleet Corporation at the request of the United States Shipping Board.
The titles of these Reports are as follows:
Report Number One: Conclusions with Reference to the Use of Electric Welding for Ship Work. (Pages 11-21.)
Appendix A: Description of Electrically Welded Cross Channel Barge. (Pages 15-16.)
Appendix B:Detailed Discussion of the Application of Electric Welding to Ship Construction. (Pages 17-21.)

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the revolutionary potential of electric welding in the construction of ships during the tumultuous era of World War I. The author, a British naval officer, was loaned to the United States Shipping Board to investigate the use of electric welding in American shipyards. He provides a detailed account of his observations, including visits to various shipbuilding companies, meetings with engineers and managers, and detailed examinations of different welding techniques. The book examines the specific challenges of using electric welding for shipbuilding, including the need to train skilled welders, the adaptation of ship designs to accommodate welding, and the relative merits of different welding systems. The author discusses the ongoing debate about the effectiveness of different types of electrodes, particularly the bare metal electrode favored in the United States versus the flux-covered electrode more commonly used in Britain. His in-depth analysis highlights the crucial role of naval architects, marine engineers, and shipbuilders in overseeing the successful implementation of electric welding, emphasizing the need to integrate this new technology with existing shipbuilding practices. The book's insights into the early adoption of electric welding during a period of intense industrial mobilization offer a fascinating glimpse into the transformative power of technology in reshaping the shipbuilding industry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330034477_0
