Subject:       Re: Tents.


a. Captain Godfrey Rhodes, Tents and Tent Life (London 1857). This, for
its date, is a surprisingly good compendium, with a lot of historical
information: he was an officer in the Crieman war, and understood the
importance of tents which did not blow down! Needless to say, his sensible
proposals were not taken up by the War Office.
b. Diderot's Encyclpaedie
c. Chambers' Cyclopaedia, 18th century editions.

No doubt you know Drew's Tension Structures, which has a lot of historical
references.
