Stressed Coverings in Naval and Aeronautic Construction
This is a 1928 technical report on stressed skin coverings for naval and aeronautic structures, issued through the NASA Technical Reports Server from an aeronautical research archive for engineers and aircraft designers. Its pictures are black-and-white engineering diagrams: material-property charts plotting density against strength-to-weight lines for glucinum, steel, wood and duralumin, cutaway drawings of cellular and riveted covering panels, and a plate of stiffener cross-sections built from angle bars. A designer could draw on their precise line-and-rivet geometry and grid-based chart layouts.
