text: A method of making a honeycomb structure having an external curved surface formed by the edges of a plurality of pieces of sheet material so disposed as to provide a multiplicity of substantially identical cells opening normal to said surface, said method comprising cutting sheets of lflexible material to provide a plurality of pieces each having a curved edge adapted to constitute a line in said surface, applying adhesive to each of said pieces solely in a pattern consisting of spaced apart bands of adhesive each extending to said edge and being normal thereto, stacking said pieces so that the adhesive bands of adjacent pieces are staggered, allowing the adhesive to set, expanding the stack of pieces by relatively moving the outermost pieces outwardly while maintaining all the pieces of the stack in parallelism, applying a liquid plastic to the expanded stack of pieces, and causing the plastic to set and harden the structure in honeycomb form with a multiplicity of cells all having their axes normal to the curved surface of the structure containing said named edges of the pieces.
