Abstract
This is the first in a series of papers to be issued by the Quartermaster Corps discussing the importance of fabric geometry in the development of more utilitarian and serviceable textile materials. It is a literature review which shows the relationship between the structural char acteristics of fabrics and various functional characteristics, such as breaking strength and elongation, tear-resistance, thermal insulation, abrasion-resistance, and gas permeability.
