BUILDERS TO USE TREENAILS
How Framework of Ships Under Con
struction for Uncle Sam Will
Be Held Together.
The framework of the wooden ships
which are now being built for the
United States Emergency corporation
will not be held by even a single metal
nail. They will be pinned together
with treenails cut from the trunks of
live oak or yellow locust trees.
There are two or three causes for
the use of wooden nails. One Is the
great need of Iron and steel in other
lines of war activity where wood
could not be used, and another is that
the wooden pin is lighter than a metal
one and less expensive.
Each ship's hull will require 300,000
of the treenails, and they will be
fastened in place by splitting each
end and driving in a white oak wedge.
Each ship will require 600.000 wedges.
It is said that the wooden pins are
more quickly put In place than are
metal ones.
Treenails are 24 inches long, an
Inch and a quarter In diameter and
perfectly round. They are used to
fusten the planks to the boat frames.
Soon after a vessel is launched the
pins swell to a snug fit in the frame
work.
Timber for the ships comes fronr
the sawmills in 60-foot slabs 14 inchet
through, and is then worked into the
different sizes for the framework and
siding.
