Lehigh Airports Competition Entry: Detail for airport plan showing airplane circulation pattern
DR1987:0354
Description:
- This drawing shows the lower right corner of the airport plan, including amphibian landing, station and part of the hangars. The pattern to be followed by taxiing airplanes is indicated. The station building "S" is indicated in two places, one of them crossed out with an X. This drawing is part of a series of eight drawings in which the architect works out airplane circulation (DR1987:0347 - DR1987:0349, DR1987:0352 - DR1987:0354, DR1987:0358 and DR1987:0390).

Description:
- The entire site appears at lower left, sketched in graphite with the amphibian landing, dock, hangars and airplane circulation route highlighted in India ink. This sketch, and the others on this sheet that deal with the path taxiing airplanes will follow in picking up and depositing passengers at the station, are part of a series of eight drawings (DR1987:0347 - DR1987:0349, DR1987:0352 - DR1987:0354, DR1987:0358 and DR1987:0390).

- The lower right corner of the airport is shown, including amphibian landing, station and part of the hangars. Graphite lines with arrows indicate the circulation route of taxiing airplanes as they pick up and deposit passengers under the station. This drawing is one of a series of eight drawings in which the architect works out airplane circulation (DR1987:0347 - DR1987:0349, DR1987:0352 - DR1987:0354, DR1987:0358 and DR1987:0390).

DR1987:0399
Description:
- This drawing is blackened with graphite on the verso so that the design could be transferred to another surface, in this case the submitted competition panel, DR1987:0359. There are drops of black watercolour and a series of black ink lines in the upper right corner. These media were used for the submitted panel and their presence here also suggests that this drawing was used in preparation of the submitted panel. There are a series of design sketches, along the left side and at the centre of the drawing, which appear to deal with the relationship of the airfield to hangars.

DR1987:0358
Description:
- This drawing shows the lower right corner of the airport, including amphibian landing, station, part of the hangars, parking lot and underground viaduct. The circulation pattern of taxiing airplanes is indicated, as is the route to be followed by automobiles leaving the highway and entering the parking lot. This drawing is part of a series of eight drawings in which the architect works out the circulation pattern of airplanes (DR1987:0347 - DR1987:0349, DR1987:0352 - DR1987:0354, DR1987:0358 and DR1987:0390). This may be the most advanced of this group, that is, the most closely resembling the version represented in the submitted competition drawings (DR1987:0359 - DR1987:0360).
