On each of the ships of Ar's Station there were long, heavy sets of planks, fastened together by transverse crosspieces. - (Guardsman of Gor, Chapter 4, Sentence #172)

There was cheering upon the Tina. On each of the ships of Ar's Station there were long, heavy sets of planks, fastened together by transverse crosspieces. These heavy constructions were some twenty-five feet in length, and some seven or eight feet in width. They were mounted on high platforms near the masts, one at each mast, and could be run out on rollers from the mast, to which they were fastened by adjustable lengths of chain. At the tops these constructions leaned back toward the masts, to which, at the top, they were secured by ropes. - (Guardsman of Gor)
