The Aerodynamic Plane Table
A 1924 technical report from the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, published by NASA's Technical Reports Server, describing the aerodynamic plane table, a precision surveying and measuring bench used to check aircraft and model shapes. Its pictures are plain black-and-white photographs of the table, models and instruments, offering a designer a clear reference for early aviation engineering equipment and the straightforward laboratory look of mid-century technical documentation.
