Dynamic Breaking Tests of Airplane Parts
A 1933 technical report from the NASA Technical Reports Server, issued as a government aeronautics publication on dynamic breaking tests of airplane parts, aimed at engineers and aircraft structure researchers. The pictures are plain photographs and graphs of test specimens, loading rigs and fatigue-test results, with a designer able to draw on their stark industrial, measurement-driven look: rows of riveted spars, cracked metal sections, and a test machine with a motor, cross-beams and hanging weights.
