Disintegration of a Liquid Jet
A 1932 NACA technical memorandum from the NASA Technical Reports Server, issued for aeronautical engineers and researchers studying how liquid jets break apart. The plates are laboratory photographs of gas-oil, water and glycerine jets in rows labelled a through g, plus a graph of disintegration length against velocity. A designer could take the stark, evenly spaced rows of streams and the scientific plotting style as a model for technical, diagrammatic imagery.
