Glauert distribution

Is there an aerodynamicist in the house?

I'm spending my day going through some foreign reports, and they're referring to the "Glauert distribution", w.r.t. spanwise load. I've not heard the term used in that context before, but have a 1926 textbook by Glauert in my collection which uses only uniform and eliptical distribution. So, I'm guessing that it means eliptical.

Does anybody have enough knowledge to confirm or deny this for me?

Cheers,

G
