The inventory system developed by the Wright Archives plays an important role in understanding notes and other references found throughout the Geiger database. This search presents projects and drawing numbers according to the Wright Archives assignments. Drawings held in other collections may appear integrated into the scheme by Geiger through speculative placement indicated with a question mark.
