THE SHIPS RUDDER.
Difference In the Strain That Comes
Upon Its Two Parts.

Upon Its Two Parts.
The rudder of a wooden ship is com

which are SO joined together as to
form in effect a single piece. The
complete rudder is coppered to protect
1t from worms, and then, besides being
practically all in one piece, it has that
appearance also.
The stalk is the part to which are at
tached the pintles, or pivots, by which
the rudder is suspended and held in
place, these going through eyes set in
the ships sternp0st. The stalk runs up
through the stern of the ship, and to
its head is bolted a cap to which are at
tached the ropes by means of which the
rudder is controlled. The backing is the
blade part of the rudder.
By far the greater strain comes on
the stalk, and the greatest strain of all
comes on the head of the stalk, the
rudder head, where it is held The
stalk is made of the wood most likely
to stand the strain, carefully selected,
sound, we'll seasoned oak, while the
backing is made of spruce or hard pine.
The stalk is of a single, solid, massive
piece, stout as an oak tree and indeed
of the dimensions of a small oak, some
thing that man can pin his faith to,
if he can have faith in any wood, while
the backing or blade is, like many mod
ern wooden masts, built up. It would
be difficult if not impossible to find
trees that would yield planks big
enough for the purpose in singh,
piece, and the built up backing, made
of pieces of selected wood, can easily
be made of ample strength to with
stand any strain that will be brought
upon it.
AS to the stalk, stout and solid as the
oak may be, the head may be twisted
by the force of a tremendous blow from
wave upon the rudder, or, under the
repeated strains of long use, the head
may split and so make the stalk use
less. Then the rudder is taken out and
fitted with new stalk A suitable
stick is selected and worked down to
| the proper size and form, and very
| probably the old backing is attached to
| it. The life of a rudder stalk would
/ probably be twelve to fourteen years.
The backing might last as long as the
ship.-New York Sun.
