Book Synopsis The Changing Capability of the Textile Industry to Support National Defense by : Stephen J. Kennedy
Download or read book The Changing Capability of the Textile Industry to Support National Defense written by Stephen J. Kennedy and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is directly related to the Army's research and development on new and improved materials for the soldier's clothing and personal life support equipment system that could be produced quickly from a broad base of the textile industry's facilities to meet the logistical support requirements of a possible future mobilization. Recent trends in the textile industry necessitate a reappraisal of the capability of the textile industry to provide adequate support to the military services in some future national emergency. These trends include: increasing textile imports, the revolutionary changes occurring in textile manufacturing, and the relative shrinkage in size of the industry's broadwoven goods manufacturing capacity in relation to total consumer demand. This report attempts to formulate some of the problems which can be foreseen at this time, and to indicate some of the factors that would be involved in assuring an adequate supply of essential military textile materials.

Book Synopsis Standard Cloths Structure and Manufacture by : Roberts Beaumont
Download or read book Standard Cloths Structure and Manufacture written by Roberts Beaumont and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Standard Cloths Structure and Manufacture: General, Military, and Naval Commercial and technical standards have obtained recognition in several branches of the textile industries. Systems of yarn counting or measuring, and of fabric construction of a prescribed weight per yard or metre, are standardized factors in worsted, woollen, cotton, and other woven and knitted productions. Specialized standards have also been established relative to fabric breaking-strain, elasticity, colour, and finish for Government and official contracts. Standardized practice facilitates commercial dealing and is favourable to manufacturing proficiency. d104ural fineness and quality are, apparently, subtle and anomalous technicalities to standardize, but the problem does not offer insuperable difficulties. The two controlling elements involved are the nature of the fibrous materials utilized, and the organized individual and collective groups of processes and operations of manufacture. With a view of elucidating the technical scope and diversity of the subject, collections of trade, general and original specimens have been consulted, and the data ascertained and collated verified by experimental research.

Book Synopsis The Civil-Military Fabric of Weimar Foreign Policy by : Gaines Post, Jr.
Download or read book The Civil-Military Fabric of Weimar Foreign Policy written by Gaines Post, Jr. and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the historiographic debate over Germany's responsibility for the outbreak of the two world wars, little attention has been paid to German politico- military activity in the Weimar Republic. Although Weimar diplomats and military leaders emphasized the interconnection and developed ideas and procedures for joint planning, historians have usually treated the foreign and military affairs of the republic separately. Gaines Post, Jr., however, examines the relationship between foreign policy and military planning, and charts its directions and changes to develop a model of German civil-military relations which sheds light on the general problem of modern civil-military relations. He shows that diplomats and military leaders shared assumptions about the role of force in foreign policy and the subordination of the military arm to the political leadership, and that they collaborated in assessing Germany's strategic situation, in rearmament, and in operational exercises. In the 1920's, interdepartmental cooperation between the foreign office and the Defense Ministry became the foundation of a stable system of civil-military relations. The system broke down during the crisis period of 1930-1933 because of mounting institutional pressures. The author demonstrates how, in both periods, civilian and military leaders viewed military force not simply as an instrument of national self-defense, but as an acceptable means of attaining national goals, above all the revision of the German-Polish borders.

Book Synopsis Wearing the Cloak by : Marie-Louise Nosch
Download or read book Wearing the Cloak written by Marie-Louise Nosch and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2011-12-07 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wearing the Cloak contains nine stimulating chapters on Roman military textiles and equipment that take textile research to a new level. Hear the sounds of the Roman soldiers' clacking belts and get a view on their purchase orders with Egyptian weavers. Could armour be built of linen? Who had access to what kinds of prestigious equipment? And what garments and weapons were deposited in bogs at the edge of the Roman Empire? The authors draw upon multiple sources such as original textual and scriptural evidence, ancient works of art and iconography and archaeological records and finds. The chapters cover - as did the Roman army - a large geographical span: Egypt, the Levant, the Etruscan heartland and Northern Europe. Status, prestige and access are viewed in the light of financial and social capacities and help shed new light on the material realities of a soldier's life in the Roman world.
