Weymann Fabric Bodies
Franco-British patented lightweight structural system for car and aircraft bodies
Weymann Fabric Bodies is a patented design system for fuselages for aircraft and superlight coachwork for motor vehicles. The system used a patent-jointed wood frame covered in fabric. It was popular on cars from the 1920s until the early 1930s as it reduced the usual squeaks and rattles of coachbuilt bodies by its use of flexible joints between body timbers.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
