Here is another clip from the same drawing that shows the description of the three block positions and this is typical for all sets of blocks thruout the drawing:
Somewhere recently I've read that the three positions allowed for a complete painting of the hull but obviously not during the same drydock period.
Here is the Position #1 Table of Offsets for Side Blocks & Bilge Keel (there are 3 of these tables):
These show the blocks at 12' intervals. There are also 3 tables for the blocks at 8' intervals and a table showing the hull openings below the DWL.
I would love to attach the entire drawing, but it is LARGE!!!

Thanks for chiming in bbvet! It does clarify the the bilge blocks, however it raises another question, does the print mention the keel blocks? Or perhaps they were fleeted or removed say for example every third one removed and then the next dd they would shift to another third and so on. Or does the print a different docking position entirely?
