Elm Tree Pump Assembly; The Upper Gun Deck Companionway Guard Rails; Steam Trunk Assembly - Jotika H.M.S VICTORY 1805 Manual

Remove the two elm tree pump bases (85) from the 4mm walnut sheet, the elm tree pump iron top plate (497) from the brass
etched sheet, and assemble as shown on Plan Sheet 3, 'Elm tree pump assembly'. The rod is made up from 0.7mm brass wire,
with a small loop fashioned in one end to pass through the pump handle (498). Now insert the wire into the hole in the centre
of the pump base assembly and at the same time glue the handle to the side. This whole assembly should be painted black.
Glue the assembly into position as shown on Plan Sheet 3.
The upper gun deck stanchions (502) (painted black) can be removed from the brass etched sheet and fitted as shown (Fig
007). They fit onto the hatch coamings.
Using a 0.75mm drill, drill into the hatch coamings and secure the stanchions with super glue. The rope handrail of 0.25mm
natural thread, previously attached to the stanchions on the deck below, can now be passed up and rigged around the main
companionway sides only (Fig 007).
Note: the foremost two companionway guardrails on the upper gun deck are formed by stanchions (502) and skid beam
support pillars (722), the handrail will therefore be shipped at a later stage.
Identify and remove the four steam trunk sides (396) from the 1.5mm walnut sheet. Assemble the steam trunk as shown on
Plan Sheet 3, 'Steam trunk assembly'. NB, the assembly is not square. It sits on the upper gun deck as shown on Plan Sheet 3
and under the forward hatch gratings on the forecastle and is therefore best glued into place during the quarterdeck fitting
stage.
