Most of the page count of this article is simply the text and illustrations of the patent itself.
The introduction says that the most important part of the patent "relates to the step or ridge formed in the bottom of flying boats." Overall the key to this type of vessel is the fuselage which must be stable enough to handle landings but also to hydroplane and take off from the water.
