Default Graphical Camber per Fred Bingham

I have been looking for an article that I saw recently. I have not

being used
in Fig 5-41. I think that it would work well in this situation.

Fig 5-41 gets the job done; however, it is physically more difficult
to get an accurate camber than to use some basic drafting tools to
do a simple lofting layout.

This is especially true for spans longer than 3'-4'.

Of course I'm biased having spent a few years on a drafting
board while putting myself thru engineering school as well as
building the profiles for the deck cambers of a sailboat I built.
