The aluminum box beams are straight.  The wooden cauls are cut to the
specific rib radii and laid on the bottom beam. The inflatable hose conforms
to the top of the rib which is fairly flat though tapered on each end as is
SOP.  The elongated wedges that are cut from the ribs with a band saw when
they are tapered prior to glue up are set on the areas where they were cut
from so that the end of the rib (which is now thinner) has adequate pressure
from the hose.

Wow,
Now that should give you a good glue joint. Is the square tubing bent to 
specific radii, or do I see wooden cauls laid on the tubing that have the 
radius? Beautiful.
