understanding ship draughts

I have a copy of 'LOFTING' by Allan H. Vaitses. This would seem to be a concise bible on the subject; it may be worth hunting a copy down.
 
Dave, thanks for the downloads.
If I recall correctly, the series was never completed. I could be wrong.
No doubt you'll find out for us.
 
You are correct, Dave. The final installment of Understanding Ships' Draughts is indeed in issue 58.
 
Great download, Dave.
I have these issues but you've done me a big favour....I don't have to scan them myself!

I'm 10 or so off the complete set, so if anyone wants to trade/swap (UK ONLY) by all means get in touch, please.
 
Thanks for your kindness, Dave.

I'll coble a list (over the weekend) of what I need and also a bunch of duplicates I have, and put them here. Anyone interested can pm me when and if.

I specified UK only, as shipping from over the water is so prohibitively expensive.
 
This is a fantastic resource. Many thanks for posting Dave. I have just started part one and got confused with references to Fig 10 and 11. I suspect a page is missing. I would be most gratful if you could post the missing page. once i start learning new information i don't want to miss any. sorry for being a pain.

You may find these interesting.
OCR scanning is not perfect but not bad.
Not sure where I got them but appropriate accreditation to David White.
