Synthetics were exposed to flame by DOC FF 3-71; the highlights arc summarized. Observations were made of the (I) effect of quilting and (2) relationship between flame temperature, withdrawal, or shrinkage of the fabric. These observa tions might understand the complex relationship between the energy emitted by the flame and that absorbed and dis tributed by the fabric.
