Hello to All,

I am the type of person that craves all the technical details. I want it all, right down to the size of the smallest bolt. A complete set of shipyard blueprints for the VII and IX translated into english would be a dream come true. I am realistic enough though, to realize that this isn't going to happen. So I try to find as much as I can. I have Rossler's book and while it is an excellent reference with more technical detail than most I am still found wanting. For example: what is the bore, stroke, compression, maximum operating rpm, maximum torque etc. for the 6 cylinder MAN diesel in a VIIB? What about the thickness of the interior bulkheads? How about a complete layout of all the controls throughout the boat. What is the diameter and pitch of the propellers? What is the maximum rotation in degrees of the front planes? I could go on and on. Could anyone suggest any books that have lots of technical detail? In english? Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. Thank You
