In producing the drawing on this page and the other similar pages, I have tried
to keep the flavour and style of the original whilst at the same time modernising the
presentation.
I make no apologies for the use of Imperial dimensions... The equipment was
designed using Imperial timber dimensions and the limits and fits were sorted out
accordingly. Metrication is not just a process of translating or converting values and to
metricate this design would require knowledge of the original designer's calculations
(which are not to hand).
I have spent much time working on this project... The drawing at left, alone took
about 20 hours preparation, during that time I have come to respect the design a great deal
and am a little confused as to why it has fallen out of favour. Especially when there are a
number of WBC hives still in use... If the CDB and WBC are compared, all features favour
the CDB bee hive and by a very large margin.
