Pneumatic Cloth Failure
By Ian Griggs

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

The item, "Purple Bellows Cloth Failure", by Bruce Clark, reminds
me to warn of certain other pneumatic cloth failures of recent years.
After having done a complete Duo-Art in a lovely new cloth a few years
back, I was horrified to find the whole thing leaked like a sieve.

It was not until, as a last hope, I took the remains of the cloth
outside and held it up to the sun did the problem reveal itself in
a nice representation of the Southern Sky at Night!  The same thing
happened with a roll of motor cloth only a month back.

So -- the moral is, unless you want to set up your own planetarium,
check all cloth this way first!  Cheers all.
