fUCHT International, 21 January 1965 Over-simplification perhaps, but coal, air and water are the basic ingredients from which nylon polymer is made. We could make parachutes out of almost anything —including metal —if we had to, but generally speaking we prefer coal. The sight of 40,000 lbs. of payload supported beneath 1y acres of white nylon is pleasing to the eye. It makes our customers happy, too, which is why we never seem to have enough nylon to satisfy our needs. N.C.B. PHOTOGRAPH G.Q. parachutes —for use in air and water —are in steadily increasing demand. Some G.Q- products go back underground in the form of safety harness for coal miners. While they get on with the cutting, we concentrate on the design and manufacture of some of the world's finest parachutes. [G.Q. PARACHUTE CO. LTD., PORTUGAL ROAD, WOKING, SURREY.
