The Belgian Aerotechnical Laboratory at Rhode-Saint-Genese
A 1926 NASA Technical Reports Server plate, Technical Memorandum No. 277, showing the Belgian Aerotechnical Laboratory at Rhode-Saint-Genese through photographs of its building, equipment and wind tunnel for an engineering readership. The pictures show a laboratory facade, a mechanical workshop with lathes and machinery, a wind tunnel exit cone with a motor, and a small device for measuring centre of pressure, arranged as a grid of black-and-white photographs with captions. A designer might take from them the stark industrial geometry of tunnel rings, circular grilles and exposed machinery.
