R101 Diagram #1

A diagram of two circles representing two airships, the R33 and the R101. Text in the top left reads: "Comparison of Diameters -- R.101...132 Feet. R.33... 78 Feet." There are two small figures representing humans on either side of the R101. Between the two airships is text that reads: "Comparison of Transverse Frames." The vertices on both sides of the R101 are each labeled with a letter from A to F.

This diagram compares the diameter and transverse frames of the R101 to its sister ship, the R33. Depictions of two humans are provided for reference.
