Abstract
The new steel ship construction rules, “Kosenkozo kitei, ” have come into force since April this year, as the or linance of the Department of Communications of our Government, and were substituted for the old ones, i. e., the Part I of the “Zosen-kitei” (“Ship Building Rules”), which enacted in 1916, had already been out of date, notwithstanding the several revisements.
As the new rules greatly differ from the old ones, not only in their method of compilation, but also in the forms and substances, we here give a brief intro luction of the outline.
But the authors have a desire to explain on this subject more or less in detail at the nearest opportunity.
