George, yes there are....

Right down to the weight of the wool used, expected yield and accepted PROFIT etc etc!

Incredibly, these laws were published and thank goodness (most) lost to time

[Dave Kane]

You funny guy!!!! I just realized you answered a question (edited) with a question!

What do you base your assertions (IC 1st & 2nd) on? Printed material, experience, period law....or?

[George Stimson]

"What do you base your assertions (IC 1st & 2nd) on? Printed material, experience, period law....or?"

I base on a bit of all of those. <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

[Dave Kane]

Thanks George! Please show a 'bit' of the laws you use...heck that's only a 3rd


Really, I'm just messing with you to show all we really have is experience......

Experience, based in years and years of handling, holding and comparing which today doesn't amount to anything of value...

The current theme is 'prove it isn't period'.....

Oh and by the way....I can't prove the ribbons posted aren't!

[Henri S]

Thanks for that insight Dave, Harry and George .

[RoyA]

I don't see this thread going any further without proof

Sorry guys...jest only. I just couldn't resist.

[Dave Kane]

Stand by!!!! I just happen to have a couple of 'Law books'...it's amazing what was regulated!


Roy, I know the feeling.....

[Dave Kane]

Here we go! Sorry lads but these pages won't be made public any time soon....but just to give you an idea of just how regulated MANUFACTURING was and geared toward $$ for the state...


Simple items such as printed forms were closely regulated, signs, TEXTILES and even AWARDS

These are just a few of thousands and thousands of pages of rules, regulations etc etc set forth...

[George Stimson]

"Sorry lads but these pages won't be made public any time soon...."

Why not?

[Dave Kane]

Too many people who would take advantage George.

Lately, I tend to side with those who do not share, as I have found that those who do and are pro-active are greatly out numbered and villified!

Just the typical and oft cited 'brain drain' where-in folks who have something to share are beaten down and worn out by those obsessive and countless posts....

You know the type!


The new 'test' of prove it's not period has and will continue to take a toll...

One just runs out of steam after a while.......

[George Stimson]

That's too bad. I tend to side with those who, by asking questions and getting answers to them, ascertain the facts about this fascinating hobby -- to the benefit of all. I believe in sharing knowledge and information.
I guess it's just a matter of type.
