In the case of the freeboard tables, they never are more than 2,5 millimetres, or one- tenth of an inch; this maximum only is attained in a few cases. As to the height of coamings, &c., it should be kept in mind that in any case both the English and the French text are in force, and, there- fore, it will not he possible that any surveyor will make difficulties either when a ship that has been constructed in a country where the English measures are applied does not comply, as to some measures, which should be slightly larger, according to the French text or alternatively. Finally, it is proposed to draw up the freeboards on the certificates when in metric measures in metres with ,two decimals, e.g .: - "Tropicale _______________ (a) 0,13 metre au-dessus de (6). ":Eta ____________________ (6) 1,92 metres. "Hiver__________________ _ "River dans I'Atlantique ~te sup6rieur~ de la ligne passant par Ie centre du disque. (c) 0,13 metre au-dessous de (6). nord ___________________ (d) 0,18 metre au-dessous de (6)." Such is simpler than and preferable to a freeboard mentioned on the certificate in mil1imetres. 2397
