Description: | Timber, particularly fire-proof plywood for general construction and decorative wood for the furnished rooms and fitments, forms an important part of the constructional work of the 'Britain Can Make It Exhibition'. The picture shows a composite display of decorative woods and various types of plywood construction supplied and erected by William Mallinson and Sons Ltd., of London, E2. It illustrates the many uses to which plywood can be put. The flag pennants are made of three plywood only 132nd of an inch thick. It is as pliable as paper yet does not tear. The foliage of the trees is made of plywood which can be curved in two ways, a development of wartime aircraft construction. Design by James Gardner, OBE, RDI, MSIA. | Subjects: | photographic negative | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Council of Industrial Design | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8165... | Go to resource |
