Brief Description: Rib numbering convention I use

No numbering convention is used to designate specific ribs on the Chilton center secction. I am creating a designation starting from the first rib outward. Center section left side inter rib (rib between spars) first rib is CML01, Nose rib is CNL01, aft left rib is CAL01, etc. Outer wing panel ribs are well designated on the plans. The plans are very carefully done and this system does not relate to any notation on Roy Nerou's wonderful Chilton DW-1 drawings. It is simply nice to keep track of what is worked on and there is no easy way to do this on the center section using strictly plan designations.
