Mercerization of Cotton for Strength with Special Reference to Aircraft Cloth
A 1933 NACA technical note from the NASA Technical Reports Server, written for engineers and aeronautical researchers on mercerizing cotton to strengthen aircraft fabric. The pictures are plain black-and-white photographs of laboratory apparatus, with metal test frames, skeined yarn samples, and an installed treatment vessel, giving a designer raw material for industrial, technical-documentation looks rather than decorative pattern.
