Riveted joints in thin plates
A 1930 engineering report from the NASA Technical Reports Server, drawn from a technical report series on riveted joints in thin sheet metal plates. Its pictures are plain graphs and small cross-section diagrams of rivet joints, plotting load against edge distance, slippage, and rivet diameter, with curves and data points. A designer could take from them the clean, sparse plotting style of early engineering graphs and the simple line-and-hatch method of drawing sectioned fasteners.
