Internal Stresses in Laminated Construction
A 1923 technical report on internal stresses in laminated wood construction, issued through NASA's Technical Reports Server with its plates captioned as test results. The photographs show laminated wood test specimens: stacked glued boards split apart, notched strips with drilled holes, and rows of marked maple pieces after tension testing. A designer could draw on their raw, grainy documentary look and the stepped layered-board forms as industrial material studies.
