[modeleng] Re: Is the List Working

Harry, steel boats are designed so that all curves are either cones or 
cylinders or parts thereof.
If you have to do this in future, it might be worth seeing what naval 
architects use in the way of software or standard formulae.

Having seen round a naval design office, it looks quite tricky to me.

     I've been busy. . . . . wrestling with sheet metal "development"
layout techniques, for cones in general, a fustrum of an offset right cone
specifically, attempting to generate the tapered transition section of
cleading (wrapper) for an American style "wagon top" boiler.  It's not the
easiest thing I've tried to learn but I believe I have it done.
