- Scope and Contents
- This series contains information on collections related to the Pratt Read Corporation Records. Some of this information was included in the collection when it was acquired by the Archives Center and some was assembled by the archivist while processing the collection. These collections are located in the Archives Center, in other branches of the Smithsonian Institution, and in other repositories. Arranged by repository, each folder typically contains finding aids for the appropriate collection, brochures or newsletters describing the repository, and correspondence with the repository. A diagram and narration at the beginning of each film explains the overall organization of the glider wing and how each part fits into the whole. The wing is divided into panels: inboard and outboard. The inboard panel is divided into sections: trailing, nose, and center. The sections are built separately and assembled in a special jig. A number of different, apparently experienced woodworkers both men and women are used throughout the series. There is no information regarding their employers, the filming location, or any connection to Pratt, Read. There are no personal production credits on the films, other than the names of the federal agency's administrators. Aircraft work: Wood fabrication./A Bray Studios Production. Produced by the Division of Visual Aids, U.S. Office of Education, Federal Security Agency (c) 1944. 6 reels (4330'): sd.; b&w ; 16mm positive. Copyright notice on films: Bray Studios; 1944.
