See Catalogue of the naval and marine engineering collection in the Science Museum, South Kensington, 1911, cat 631, page 190 "Half model of a ship with radiating frames (Scale 1:64). Lent by Lloyd's Register of British and Foreign Shipping, 1876. This shows a wooden ship of about 800 tons, with poop deck and forecastle. The frames radiate to a point about amidships, so that while the frames there are vertical, the others incline on both sides more and more as the bow and stern are approached. The inclined frames assist in resisting the shearing stresses.".
