The fibre column
should be treated with caution. I have given the type and percentage
of fibre where I have managed to obtain it from the original manufacture,
but this has not always been possible as some manufacturers are no longer
in business and some manufacturers have been more helpful than others.
Where a drawing
shows a product was specified it does not necessarily mean that that
product was used, breaking specifications was and is a common occurrence,
with the replacement product possible being imported and having a different
fibre content.
The only way
to be sure of a product's fibre content is by an analysis by a UKAS
approved laboratory.
Trade names and
descriptions were often the same in the past.
