Machinery Seats



It has already been indicated that in the machinery spaces additional transverse floors and longitudinal intercostals side girders are provided to support the machinery effectively and to ensure rigidity of the structure. The main engine seatings are in general integral with this double bottom structure, and the inner bottom in way of the engine foundation has a substantially increased thickness. Often the machinery is built up on seatings forming longitudinal bearers which are supported transversely by tripping brackets in line with the double bottom floors, the longitudinal bearers being in line with the double bottom side girders.
Boiler bearers are similarly fabricated with support from transverse brackets and longitudinal members.
