I'd never appreciated this design feature, but it makes a lot of sense.

If you ever get the chance to look inside the detachable wing of a Dyke
Delta, you'll see true 'inspectability' (look Ma', I just made up a word).

The rib caps are a 1/2"x1/4" stainless steel channel that is braced with
3/8" piper channel. You can just about stand inside the thing and look
around. Well, maybe I could if I would lose this gut, but I'm talking
about normal people, not me. 8*)
