Supplement to the Supermarine S.6.B. Racing Seaplane (British) : A Low-Wing Twin-Float Monoplane
This is a 1932 supplementary technical report from the NASA Technical Reports Server, issued by the Aircraft Circular series, describing construction of the Supermarine S.6B racing seaplane for engineers and aircraft designers. The two pages show construction stages, with wing and fuselage framing in the top photographs and the finished fuselage and float in the lower ones, each captioned in typed English. A designer could take from them the raw structural rhythm of ribs, spars and stringers, seen as bare lattice before skinning, which suggests an industrial grid pattern.
