Example showing the Manner of Drawing or Ruling a Shingle for Plank or '2-inch, also the Mode of Dotting. Rule. — Take a shingle and rule it, as shingle No. 1 is ruled, the dimensions along the top column, and the lengths down the side column ; then take a pencil and make a dot, thus (,), for every plank, or deal, or piece of timber, as the case may be. Suppose I want to dot a 2 X 6? 22 feet long, 3 times, I run along the top cohmm of dimensions till I come to 2 X G ; I then go down said line till I come oppo- site 22 in the column of lengths, I then make three dots, thus (,„).

The specification of Philadelphia deals is done the sanic as the 3-incli specification ; or multiply the running lengths by 3 for the contents in fi^et of board measure. Philadel- phia deal is generally 12 inches wide and even lengths, from 1 4 feet up, and tlie best quality of spruce lumber. English deals generally comprise all deals too short, or not good enough for Philadelphia or New York deals. Also short timber, battens, and plank, not suitable for other markets, go into the English deal pile. Deals that are knotty, cracked by the sun, or stained, or having wanes on them, and not poor enough for refuse, go to the English deal pile. New York deal must be the best quality of spruce, from 14 feet long up. Directions showing how to measure all hinds of Lumber by the Board Rule. Lay your rule across the board to be measured, at right angles to the further edge of the board, and let the outside edge of the board and further end of the rule be both even on that side, then observe the length of your board and turn your rule to the same length, then look on the line or column of that length, and you will find the contents marked on the rule just over the inside edge of the board. EXAMPLES FOR PRACTICE. 1. What are the contents of a 1^-inch board IG feet long and 12 inches wide? Ans. 20 feet. By the rule the contents given for 1-inch board is IG feet contents, to which add ^ of the contents, which will give the contents for 1^ -inch boards. 16-4-4=4; 16-|-4 = 20 feet contents. 2. What are the contents of a board 32 feet long and 12 mches wide ? Ans. 32 feet. As there is no 32 on my rule, I find the contents by the rule of a board, half the length to be IG feet; which being doubled, gives the contents required = 32 feet. 3. What are the contents of a 1^-itich board 20 feet long and 12 inches wide? Ans. 30 feet. e saniG engths liladel- s, from ^^nglish t good 3 short kets, go snicked md not , New 14 feet Lumber at right outside )th even md turn column 1 on the eet long 20 feet. 16 feet l^ill give + 4 = and 12 32 feet, by the ;h being Tfeet long 30 feet. ON LUMBER SURVEYING. 55 By the rule an inch board 20 feet long and 12 inches wide will contain 20 feet, to which add half of 20 for the contents of a l^-inch board. 20 -f- 2 = 10 ; 20 + 10 = 30 feet. 4. Required the contents of a plank 24 feet long 2 inches X 12 inches? Ans. 48 feet. By the board rule, in a board 24 feet long 12 inches wide and 1 inch thick there are 24 feet, and as plank is 2 inches thick, therefore twice the contents of the face of it will be equal to the true contents, 24 X 2 = 48 feet. Rule for any Dimension. Multiply the number of feet in the face of the piece to be measured, by the thickness in inches, and it will give the contents in feet of board measure. Rule for measuring Logs or Round Timber. Multiply the length, taken in feet, by the square of one fourth of the mean girth, taken in inches, and this product divided by 1 44 will give the contents in cubic feet. Note. — The girth of tapering timber is usually taken about one third the distance from the larger to the smaller end. The rule is that in common use, though very far from giving the actual number of cubic feet ; 40 cubic feet as given by the rule are in fact r:= oO^^q true cubic feet. EXAMPLE. 1. How many cubic feet in a stick of timber which is 40 feet long, and whose girth is GO inches ? Ans. 62^ feet. GO -f- 4 = 15 inches rr= l of girth ; 15 X !•'> = 225 ~ square of quarter of the girth ; 225 X 'iO feet = 'J,000 ; 9,000 -f- 144= G2^ cubic feet. 2. How many cubic feet in a piece of timber 21 feet long, and whose girth is 36 inches ? 3. What are the contents of a log 100 feet long, and whose tiirth is 150 inches? ''!:f=« I -l 56 SELF-INSTRUCTOR To jind the largest Square Piece of Timber that may he sawed from a Round Stick of Timber, having the Diam- eter or Circumference of the Small End given. Ride 1. — Multiply the given diameter by .707106, or, multiply the given circumference by .225079. Or, as the diameter of a circle is equal to the diagonal of the inscribed square — Rule 2. — Square the diameter and take half the sum of the i^quare, I and extract the square root of it, ui.d the root thus found will be the side of the inscribed square. EXAMPLE. 1. I have a piece of timber 30 inches in diameter ; how large a square stick can be hewn from it. By the last rule 30 squared = 30 X 30 = 900 ; 900-7-2 = 450; ^5!^ == 21.21 -{-inches square. 2. How large a square stick may be hewn from a piece of round timber 120 inches in circumference? 3. How large a square stick may be sawn from a piece of round timber 60 inches in diameter ? Having the Side of a Square Stick given^to find the Diam- eter of the Tree from which it was sawn. Rule. — Square the side and double it, and out of the product extract the square root. What must be the diameter of a tree that when hewn shall be 18 inches square? Ans. 25.44 inches.

For vessels aground, the length is to be measured on a straight line along the rabbet of the keel, from a ])erpendicu- lar, let full from the back of the main-post, at the height of the wing-transom, to a ])erpendicular at the height of the upper deck (but the middle deck of three-decked ships), from the forepart of the stern ; then from the length between these perpendiculars subtract three fifths of the extreme breadth for the rake of the stern; and 2}, inches for everv foot of the height of the wing-transom above the lower part of the rabbet of the keel, for the rake abaft ; and the re- mainder will be the length of the keel for tonnnge. The main breadth is to be taken from the outside of the outside plank, in the broadest part of the ship either above or be- low the wales, deducting therefrom all that it exceeds the thickness of the plank of the bottom, which shall be ac- counted the main breadth ; so that the moulding breadth, or the breadth of the frame, Avill then be less than the main breadth, so found, by double the thickness of the plank of the bottom. Rule. — Then multiply the length of the keel for tonnage, by the main breadth, so taken, and the product by half the i '\ 66 SELF-INSTRUCTOR breadth ; then divide the whole by 94, and the quot'ient will be the tonnage. In cutters and brigs, where the rake of the stern-post ex- ceeds 2?, inches to every foot in height, the actual rake is generally subtracted instead of the 2}j inches to every foot, as before mentioned. 1. Sujjpose the length from the fore-part of the stern, at the height of the upper deck, to the after-part of the stern- post, at the height of the wing-transom to be 115 feet 8 inches^ the breadth from outside to outside 40 feet G inches, and the height of the wing-transom 21 feet 10 inches, what is the tonnage?

If the length of the keel be 120 feet, and the breadth 40 feet, what is the tonnage? A7is. 1,02 l-j^ tons. Solution. — 120 X 40 = 4,800 ; 4,800 X 20 = 96,000 ; 96,000 -f- 94 = 1,021 if tons. 3. If the length of the keel be 80 feet, and the breadth of the beam 36 feet, wliat is the tonnage ? Ans, 55;|5. 4. If the length of the keel be 460 feet, and the breadth of the beam 80 feet, what is the tonnage. Ans. 15,659 tons. Some divide the last product by 100, to find the ton- nage of king's ships, and by 95, to find that of merchant ships. Anncrican Government Rule. For single-decked i-essels. — Take the lengtli on deck from the forward side of the main stern to the after-side of the stern-post, and the breadth at the broadest part above the mt will )OSt rx- rake is iry foot, item, at e stern- > feet 8 1 inches, what is s. 1,094. 28.70 = breadth [-\^ tons. 9G,000 ; breadth breadth G59 tons, the ton- merchant ON LUMBER SURVEYING. 67 ook from do of the bovc the main wales ; take the depth from the under side of the deck phuik to the ceiling of the hokl, and deduct from the length tln-ee fifths of the breadth ; multiply the remainder by the breadth, and the product by tlie depth, and divide the last product by 95. For doiihle-deched vessels. — Proceed as with single-decked vessels, except for the depth take half the breadth. GAUGING. Gau";inij sitriu'fies the art of measurin"; all kinds of vessels and determining tlieir capacity or the quantity of fluid or other matter tliey contain. It is usual to divide casks into four varieties, wliich are judged of from the greater or less apparent curvature of their sides, namely : — 1. Tlie middle frustum of a spheroid. 2. Tlie middle frustum of a parabolic spindle. 3. The two equal frustums of a paraboloid. 4. The two equal frustums of a cone. 282 cubic inches make 1 ale gallon, or beer. 231 cubic inches make 1 wine gallon. 21,504 cubic mches make 1 malt bushel. To Jind the contents of a Cask by the Mean Diameter. Rule. — IMultiply the difference of the head and bung di- ameters by .G8 for the first variety ; by .02 for tlie second ; by .55 for the third ; and by .5 for the fourth, when the dif- ference between the head and bung dinmeter is less than G inches ; but when the difference between these exceeds 6 inches, multiply that difference by .7 for the first variety ; by .G4 for the second; by .57 for the third; and by .52 for the fourth. Add this product to the head diameter, and the sum will be a mean diameter. Square this mean diameter, and multiply the square by the length of the cask ; this product multiplied or divided by the proper multiplier or divisor, will give the contents. 1. What are the contents of a spheroidal cask, whose I 68 SELF-INSTRUCTOR length is 40 inches, bung diameter 32 inches, and head di- ameter 24 inches ? Ans. 97. G gallons. Solution.- 32 — 24 = 8 ; 8 X 7 = 5.6 ; 5.0 -|- 24 == 29.0 = mean diameter; 29.0 X 29.0= 870.10 = square ; 870.10 X 40 = 35040.40, which being divided by 359.5, the divisor for imperial gallons, will he equal to 97. G gallons. By the gauging rule — Set 40 on C. to the G. R. 18.79 on D. against " 24 on D. stands 04.99 on C. 32 on D. stands 110.2 on C. + 110.2 3)297.39 99.13 gallons. Dr. Iluttori's General Rule for fndiny the Contents of Casls. Add into one sum 39 times the square of the bung diame- ter, 25 times the square of the head diameter, and 20 times the product of the two diameters ; then multiply the sum by the length, and the product again by. 00031^ for the con- tents in gallons. . , EXAMPLE. 1. Whitt are the contents of a cask whose length is 40 inches, and the bung and head diameters 32 and 24 ? Ans. 93.4579 gallons. 32 X 32 = 1024 ; 1024 X 39 = 39936 24 X 24 = 570 ; 570 X 25 = 14400 32X24=708; 708X20 = 19908 74tJU4X 40 = 2972100 .00031$ 93.4579 .^ Paging is the art of finding what quantity of liquor is contained in a cask when partly empty.
