From Mr. A. M. Dobson's Note (July 1955 Journal, page 506) which dealt with the stability of an axially loaded continuous beam, and other contacts we have had with the Aircraft Industry, it would appear that the very considerable developments of structural theory which have taken place in relation to continuous beams subjected to axial load, as employed in normal structural steel work, are not well known in aircraft stress offices. The list of references appended may then be found helpful.
