Ripstop Nylon: Doubled Threads Woven in Every 5 to 8 mm, Both Ways

Ripstop is cloth with a grid of stronger threads woven in every 5 to 8 mm, both ways (Wikipedia). A small tear runs only as far as the next line of the grid. In the Army's parachute nylon (US 3,032,072, 1962) the rip-stop threads go in as doubled pairs, warp and weft, with ordinary threads between.

Ama-blueprint ahlobene

Lama-blueprint abelana ngolwazi — amasu, izinto noma izimiso

CC0 Isizinda Somphakathi

Le blueprint ikhishwe ngaphansi kwe-CC0. Ukhululekile ukukopisha, ukuguqula, ukusabalalisa, nokusebenzisa ngaphandle kwemvume.

Sekela uMenzi ngokuthenga imikhiqizo nge-Blueprint yabo IKhomishane Yomenzi kumiswe ngabathengisi, noma dala inguqulo entsha yale Blueprint bese uyifaka njengoxhumaniso ku-Blueprint yakho ukuze wabelane ngemali engenayo.
