Showing frames 1 - 12.is a GIF of an AutoCAD redraw
that I made of the1912 joiner. The joiner plans were found on microfilm by Tom
Scott, which he printed and scannedThe
microfilm clarity was poor and many small objects could not be differentiated with
other close objects The three red objects are the anchor chain chutes. Must have made a heck of a racket when the anchors were dropped |
