transverse frame

One has gone down the transverse frame ladder, another is climbing up.'

Next came pictures of ladders and stairs pinned to the transverse frames.

"We'd like to collect the transverse frames now. "

The ship's hull is a riveted steel construction on transverse frames.

Julia used a key on a nearby transverse frame to plug into Greg's cybofax.

A silent rank of drones was drawn up beside the transverse frame ladder.

These required a lot of riveting and also some complicated mechanical detail where they met the transverse frames.

"We'll fetch the last two transverse frames now, Father;" Leslie said.

The ship's hull was constructed from transverse frames, and included both iron and timber.

These new rules called for all lifting loads to be transmitted directly to the transverse frames rather than being taken via the longitudinal girders.

The fuselage had an oval cross-section and was built on a keel with longitudinal members and transverse frames.

The four tekmercs of Frank's squad had begun to climb the transverse frame ladder up to the midsection of the engineering bay.

The hull, deck and deckhouse are of welded marine aluminium alloy, with transverse frames and longitudinals.

The vessel was constructed with transverse frames and constructed with an iron hull, which contained eight watertight compartments.

These connected 15 polygonal transverse frames, which were held in shape by wire bracing connected to a central longitudinal girder running the length of the ship.

Scott also contributed to the design of airships themselves; with R101 designer Colonel Vincent Richmond, he was responsible for that ship's novel unbraced transverse frames.

The LZ 1 was constructed using a cylindrical framework with 16 wire-braced polygonal transverse frames and 24 longitudinal members covered with smooth surfaced cotton cloth.

The longitudinal frames at the sides fit into notches cut into the transverse frames, while the ones near the bottom of the ship are sometimes made continuous between traverse bulkheads.

Previous battlecruisers were built with a combination of transverse and longitudinal steel frames; the Derfflinger-class ships dispensed with the transverse frames and used only the longitudinal ones.

The individual transverse frames were assembled horizontally then lifted up and slung from roof-mounted trackways before being slid into position and attached to the adjacent frames by the longitudinal girders.

This was the same type of construction as in the preceding Derfflinger-class battlecruisers, and was intended to save weight compared to the traditional method of construction, which incorporated both longitudinal and transverse frames.

Instead of going for transverse frame sections which were unnecessarily strong, but held together by weak longitudinals, Cole went for extra strong longitudinals and weaker transverse frames.

This method, Isherwood felt, lent a ship much greater longitudinal strength than in ships built in the traditional method, where a series of transverse frames were fit together closely from the keel upwards.

The hull was constructed of two layers of mahogany planking laid diagonally over laminated spruce, white oak, and mahogany frames, reinforced with longitudinal battens, secondary transverse frames, and clamps.

In a typical wooden sailboat, the hull is constructed of wooden planking, supported by transverse frames (often referred to as ribs) and bulkheads, which are further tied together by longitudinal stringers or ceiling.
