up the ship" fame
Methods and machinery at Fore River
are alike new. For example, the navy
department plan Of a separation Of the
construction into ''hulp and "machln-
cry" has been adopted, although either
the superintendent OF hulls or the SUI
perntendent of machinery working
under the general manager and general
superintendent, may call upon any one
OF the seventeen departments into which
the yard II divided. The machinery dIvl-
sion receives the steel ingots, the cast
ings, steel rods, tubing and all the rest
OF the material required for the con-
struction Of the engines and machinery
OF a modern ship and works them into
finished shape, The hail division deals
principally with the mates and frames
and the actual construction Of the ship.
No less than sixty craftsmen are now
busy for both divisions on the plans
for the New Jersey and Rhode Island,
each OF which will be OF 1880 tons bur

Perhaps the most interesting feature
of the work OF the hull division Is the

the use OF the separate motor-~each

features OF the whole yard. over 100
motors are used, developing altogether
more than 1000 horsepower, bit OF

great spanned crane OF the hull divl-
sion, reaching across the plate yard,
where the plates are stored FOR a dis
lance Of $50 feet, so that the crane truss
rivals the span OF a big railroad bridge,
is run by electricity.
In the work Of the machinery division
the most interesting features are the
forgings, some OF which weigh twenty
tons. Here. for example, heated ingot
