Abstract
For examining the artificial lighting of a shipyard, the requirements are divided into those of: (i) Interior lighting, (ii) Lighting of outside areas, and (iii) Lighting of building berths.
The sequence of operations in shipbuilding is shown on a chart and a description is given of the type of work carried out in various shops concerned with the preparation of material for the building of the ships on the berths. Typical lighting installations are described and the recommended illumination values are stated.
In addition to the workshops, the working area of a shipyard consists of large outside areas and the problems which have arisen in providing artificial lighting for these areas are discussed.
