bushman32 got a reaction from Archi in Preac thickness sander
Side bearing, on the side plate without the motor, on my Preac thickness sander is finally going out. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a replacement or what size I would need if I tried Home Depot.
Thanks,
Ron W.

bushman32 got a reaction from Archi in Anchor windlass
I am building Revell's old 1/400 USS Mission Capistrano which was a T2 tanker. I am scratch building several parts, along with redoing the aft superstructure to match her actual design. I am having a hard time getting information on the design of the anchor windlass and was wondering if anyone would have any idea of where I could get better information. I have studied many images of her and sister ships, and though there are a few that shows some detail, I need better information.
Thanks,
Ron W.

Ron,
If you have a look at the first post on this thread at Ships Nostalgia - Steam windlass - know of any still existing? | Ships Nostalgia - you will find two illustrations of a Clarke Chapman steam windlass which is remarkably similar to the illustration in the 1959 edition of 'Nicholl's Seamanship and Nautical Knowledge' and also remarkably similar to the windlasses on ship's I served on in the 1960's which were built in the late 1940's.
I would think that these would be pretty close to the windlasses fitted on Liberty Ships.

You might find a patent for the windlass used on oilers in the US Patent Office archives. The patent will have lots of drawings showing every part.
However, there are probably many windlass patents. It would help if you knew the manufacturer. That would narrow the search. And you can ignore patents before the date the ship was built.

Don't forget Donald Dressel's book Planking Techniques for Model Ship Builders. Excellent book.

I couldn't find any reference to "CMS". I wonder if it was just a misprint on the book.
