Report on Investigations of Aviation Wires and Cables, Their Fastenings and Terminal Connections
This is a 1917 government technical report, issued by the United States aeronautical investigators, on aircraft control wires and cables, their fastenings and terminal connections, written for engineers and aviation workshops. The pictures are plate illustrations of cable ends, thimbles and wrapped terminals drawn in fine line on plain grounds, with figures labelled by number. A designer could take their clean, schematic technical drawing style, with simple labelled figures and careful shading of metal and twisted strands.
