Abstract
The following is a condensed report of analyses and tests conducted at the National Bureau of Standards and at the U. S. Testing Company, comparing the qualities of the regular all-wool army blanket with those of blankets constructed of a mixture of wool and cotton. Studies were made of 33 blankets of 8 different constructions. It is concluded that part-wool blankets should prove quite satisfactory for use in barracks in place of the all- wool army blanket, thereby affecting a substantial saving in wool. The complete report, by H. F. Schiefer,* Louis R. Mizell,** and F. E. Mosedale,*** appears in Journal of Research, N.B.,S., March 1943. (Editor)
