    16 Textiles in defence* Richard A Scott Defence Clothing and Textiles Agency, Science and Technology Division, Flagstaff Road, Colchester, Essex CO2 7SS, UK 16.1 Introduction To be prepared for War is one of the most effectual means of preserving Peace (George Washington, 1790)1 Defence forces on land, sea, or air throughout the world are heavily reliant on tech- nical textiles of all types – whether woven, knitted, nonwoven, coated, laminated, or other composite forms. Technical textiles offer invaluable properties for military land forces in particular, who are required to move, live, survive and fight in hostile environments. They have to carry or wear all the necessities for comfort and sur- vival and thus need the most lightweight, compact, durable, and high performance personal clothing and equipment. The life-critical requirements for protecting indi- viduals from both environmental and battlefield threats have ensured that the major nations of the world expend significant resources in developing and providing the most advanced technical textiles for military use. 16.2 Historical background Military textile science is not new, and one of the earliest documented studies can probably be credited to Count Rumford, or Benjamin Thompson. Rumford was an American army colonel and scientist who issued a paper in 1792 entitled ‘Philo- sophical Transactions’, which reported on the importance of internally trapped air in a range of textile fabrics to the thermal insulation provided by those fabrics.2 He was awarded the Copley Medal for his paper, as the significance of his discovery was recognised immediately. * Copyright MOD (1997) DCTA, Colchester, Essex CO2 7SS 426 Handbook of technical textiles 16.2.1 Pre-Twentieth century Up until the end of the 19th century military land battles were fought at close quar- ters by individual engagements.

  • General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
    RESTRICTED GENERAL AGREEMENT ON L/22JT TARIFFS AND TRADE 1 July 1964 Limited Distribution Original: English QUANTITATIVE RESTRICTIONS MAINTAINED BY CYPRUS, TANGANYIKA AND UGANDA Following the instruction by the CONTRACTING PARTIES at their twentieth session (BISD Eleventh Supplement, page 167, paragraph 4), the secretariat has been in contact with newly acceded contracting parties on the question of the quantitative restrictions they maintain. Among the replies received so far, those from Cyprus, Tanganyika and Uganda, list restrictions which do not appear to be maintained for the purpose of safeguarding the balance of payments. The details of the answers that have been received are annexed. It is suggested that these be regarded as notifications submitted under the procedure relating to "residual" restrictions (BISD Ninth Supplement, page 19). ) L/2237 Page 2 CYPRUS 1. Products shown in the following list may be imported only subject to specific import licences. Import licences are granted freely for most of the time. The few items which, according to the Government of Cyprus, are subject to "certain restrictions" include Nos. 1-3* 5* 7-H* 15> 16, 21 and 32. "In the case of some of these latter items licences are granted seasonally and only in two or three cases is import prohibited." 2. The Government of Cyprus states that it does not discriminate against any country as far as imports into Cyprus are concerned. However, payments for goods originating from Eastern European countries and the United Arab Republic are effected through "clearing" accounts in accordance with the provisions of bilateral agreements which Cyrpus has concluded with these countries.

  • Textiles for Dress 1800-1920
    Draft version only: not the publisher’s typeset P.A. Sykas: Textiles for dress 1800-1920 Textile fabrics are conceived by the manufacturer in terms of their material composition and processes of production, but perceived by the consumer firstly in terms of appearance and handle. Both are deeply involved in the economic and cultural issues behind the wearing of cloth: cost, quality, meaning. We must look from these several perspectives in order to understand the drivers behind the introduction of fabrics to the market, and the collective response to them in the form of fashion. A major preoccupation during our time frame was novelty. On the supply side, novelty gave a competitive edge, stimulated fashion change and accelerated the cycle of consumption. On the demand side, novelty provided pleasure, a way to get noticed, and new social signifiers. But novelty can act in contradictory ways: as an instrument for sustaining a fashion elite by facilitating costly style changes, and as an agent for breaking down fashion barriers by making elite modes more affordable. It can drive fashion both by promoting new looks, and later by acting to make those looks outmoded. During the long nineteenth century, the desire for novelty was supported by the widely accepted philosophical view of progress: that new also implied improved or more advanced, hence that novelty was a reflection of modernity. This chapter examines textiles for dress from 1800 to 1920, a period that completed the changeover from hand-craft to machine production, and through Europe’s imperial ambitions, saw the reversal of East/West trading patterns.
