Each belt frame is thus complete in itself, and very readily erected after the tank top is completed. The tank top is of 20 lb plating amidships and under the loading hatches and 171 lb elsewhere. The margin plate is a continuation of the tank top, is made of 172 lb plating, and flanged against the shell. The centre keelson is of about 221 lb plating and about 51 ft. deep; the side keelsons are of 172 lb and slightly less depth, so that with a small rise of floor on the outside, say 3 in. in the half-breadth of the ship, there is a small fall of the tank top towards the bilges, say 6 in. in the half-breadth, so as to drain the hold to the water-courses over the margin plates. The centre keelson extends from the inner to the outer bottom, being attached to the tank top and the flat keel by heavy double angle bars, and well stiffened by the flanged floor brackets, which are connected to it by heavy double angle bars. The side keelsons are connected to the tank top and the floors by fore-and-aft angle bars 3 in. by 3 in. of 71 lb per foot, and stiffened by vertical 6-in. angle bars at every frame.
