Its more than that. The patent is for a modular aircraft structure that allows you to assemble single fuselage or double fuselage aircraft and added additional nacelles. A sort of Lego aircraft

From, Техника - молодежи 1940/6,

Composite aircraft - patented by the English aircraft manufacturing firm
Fairey. From separate fuselages and wing sections it is possible to assemble
machines with different numbers of fuselages and engines. Two such aircraft
are shown in the figure. Twin- and multi-engine aircraft can have engines
only on the wings, but not on the fuselage. (Engineer, vol. 159, no. 4387.)
