Available for the first time since World War Two – these booklets are part of a series from the U.S. Navy Bureau of Aeronautics explain and illustrate the processes and techniques used to convey the lines on blueprints of aircraft and aircraft components, to the templets used to make the actual aircraft parts. This is nearly lost technology and knowledge, that can NOW be in your hands. Please note that these are all reproductions, not originals. They were reproduced in 2012 by Nation Builder Books (that’s us!), Mebane, NC, 27302. They were originally published for the U.S. Navy Bureau of Aeronautics by the International Textbook Co., Scranton, Pennsylvania Lofting and Layout: Use of the Loft, 1943, 5 1/4 x 8 1/4 , 43 pages. The aircraft industry adopted the word and meaning of lofting from shipbuilding: reproducing and transferring loft lines to metal templets, for laying out and making templets, mock-ups or models, patterns, certain tooling and assembly jigs, and to facilitate methods for checking various airframe and wing components. Among the subjects and specific tools discussed are scales and protractors; ducks, splines, and curves; trammels, straightedges, and pantographs; battens and take-off sticks; wire adjuster; projecting and checking points; determining points for a long straight line; apparatus for laying out grid lines; specific loft layouts for various aircraft components (fuselage, wings, nacelles, empennage); making layouts; and simplified riveting. .
