Refrigerated Wind Tunnel Tests on Surface Coatings for Preventing Ice Formation
This is a 1930s British aeronautical technical report from the Aeronautical Research Committee's R.A.E. series, issued by the NACA-style technical note series and documenting refrigerated wind tunnel tests of anti-icing surface coatings. The pages are typeset with plain halftone photographs of apparatus, test specimens and airfoil profiles, with captions in capitals. For designers, the value lies in the stark documentary photographs of laboratory rigs, refrigeration units and iced test surfaces, which suit industrial or technical imagery with a clinical, monochrome look.
