Jogging
Jogging is a form of sheet metal working for shaping the sheet steel plates of a riveted ship's hull .
details
Until around the late 1950s and early 1960s, two steel plates were generally connected by riveting in shipbuilding . It was often desirable to place one piece on top of the other so that no joint emerged on one side of the plate aisle.
To do this, one of the two panels to be connected was jogged twice. For this purpose, the plate was bent over at the edge in the depth of the overlap approximately by the thickness of the plate twice next to one another almost at right angles and the overlap was thus set off to the rear. The second steel plate was placed flat in the resulting recess and then riveted.
The process was named after its British inventor Joggling .
