Graphical Camber per Fred Bingham

able to find it. It described, in more detail, the method that is
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.
