Flexible Templates Listing

For an example of the special output list in this case, see below. The list starts with two headlines. The first contains the name of the plate, the date when the templates were created, and the distance between pins of the template. The second line contains the limiting frame sections, the base frame, the aft and fore butts, and the number of templates.

The headline for the templates contain the digits from -8 to 8. These digits denote the multiplication factor to use together with the distance given in the first headline row. This creates the distance from the middle point to the pin where to apply the listed height.

One row is printed for each template. The middle column normally contains the value 0, while the other columns contain the height (with sign) of the template in this point. The value is relative to the height of the middle point. The templates curves have been extended to reach the first pin outside the actual plate.

To the left in the row the frame number or frame section is printed.

To the right there are five columns. They contain the distance from the middle point to the lower and upper seams, the distance from the middle point to the sight mark, and the angle between the template and the plate measured fore of the template.

Four lines are printed at the bottom of the list. They contain the coordinates of the middle points given in the ship’s coordinate system.

The last line is the distance from the base frame to the straight line between the end points of the sight line plane curve.
