Sun Ship Buys Swedish

Data Ship Design System

Kockums shipyard of Malmo, Sweden, have sold their "Styrbjorn" (Steer Bear) data pro- gramme system to the Sun Shipbuilding and

Dry Dock Company, Chester, Pa.

The system, said to be one of the most ad- vanced of its kind in the world, gives instruc- tions, directions, and designs from the initial stages to the final assembly of the ship. It is reported to be of particular value for the work- ing out of complicated geometrical forms. Em- ploying a numerical technique, it is also used on hull designs, shell plating, punched tapes for numerically-controlled cutting, steel struc- ture designs, and as a guide to ordering of materials, etc.

Application of the system need not be limited to shipbuilding, say Kockums. Adaptation for use in the textile, motor, building, and other industries—any dealing with three-dimensional forms—would be perfectly feasible.
