THE DESIGN OF AIRPLANE-ENGINE SUPERCHARGERS
This is a 1937 NASA technical report, compiled from the NASA Technical Reports Server, on the design of airplane-engine superchargers, written for aircraft engineers and compressor designers. Its pictures are dense engineering charts and line drawings: performance curves plotted against altitude and velocity, a compressor impeller cross-section, and guide vane sketches, with a designer able to take from them the graphic language of technical plots, labelled axes, and fine-line mechanical drawing.
