Notes:
Examines the production of goods made from high performances fabrics for mountaineering, etc, before 1950s, dealing with interplay between manufacturers and users especially in design, subsequent loss of technical capability by industry and assessment of level of sophistication of industry before 1950s. Draws on the experience of Burberry and Haythornthwaites
