TIMBER AND ROOM, or room and space
TIMBER AND ROOM, or room and space, is the distance betwixt the moulding edges of two adjoining timbers, which must always contain the breadth of two timbers; and. sometimes two or three inches between them. It must be observed, that one mould serves for two timbers; the fore side of the one being supposed to unite with the after side of the other, and so make only one line; which is actually the case in all the frames, which in some ships are every third, and in others every fourth timber: The frames are first put up, and fastened to the ribbands, and afterwards the others are put up, which are called fitting timbers. Murray's ship-building.
