The Cast Iron Park Bench

British scientists John Whinfield and James Dickson first produced poly cloth in England in 1941. However, polyester fabric did not begin to be made in the United States until 1950 when American company, Dupont, purchased the patent rights.

The ability of polyester material to resist both fading and shrinkage has made it the most widely utilized material, since 1960, in the manufacturing of garments. Polyester also became a frequent selection in the production of tablecloths, chair covers, placemats, table skirts and aprons. However, when it came to napkins, companies noticed that 100% polyester fabric was not a good alternative. Table napkins made of 100% poly lacked absorption and did not have the feel of cotton fiber, which one associated with expensive table linen.

Along came spun polyester material. Spun polyester was initially made for industrial use and home furnishings. An effort by Johnston Industries to make a boat cover from spun polyester resulted in the discovery of a lighter weight polyester that had an improved feel to it. While dying this new version of spun polyester, they found that the material became even softer, making it perfect for tablecloths.

Johnston Industries felt so strongly about their discovery that they stopped the development of boat coverings. Johnston Industries decided that, in order to make the spun poly better that they had created, it would be essential to hire Bob Pomeranz, an expert in textiles. Bob’s expert knowledge of spinning machines made it easy for him to spin a cloth free from pilling, the bothersome fiber clusters that take away from a cloth’s appearance. The finished result was a lasting table linen that kept its color, released soil and did not shrink.

Tablecloths constructed of spun polyester could now have the feel of cotton fabrics and most significantly, unlike cotton fiber, a spun polyester tablecloth would not fade after many a washings. As a rule, the more you washed a spun poly table cloth the softer and better it would feel to the touch.

Today, the consumer will find place mats, chair coverings, skirting, aprons and even napkins are produced from spun poly. In fact, spun polyester table napkins were really absorbant, a feature that 100% polyester napkins did not have.

Both 100% poly and spun polyester have their place, not just in the home, but in banquet halls, nursing homes, hospitals and the party rental industry as well.

We all know the devastation that weather can cause. Here in the United States we have certainly had more than our fair share of it in the last few years. For instance the 2004 and 2005 Atlantic Tropical Hurricane Seasons. Then the Flooding in the North East and California Mudslides too; of course Tornado Season has been getting progressively worse as well each year. In fact the number of reported Tornatic Cells increased in each of the last 3-years to set all time high records for the most Tornadoes.

Prior to all this we had severe droughts in the Western Mid-West and Western States. The droughts were so severe in some states they worried about the ability to fight wildfires or maintain drinking water supplies. With El Nino and La Nina Seasons exacerbated the extreme weather appears to be rather intense. Most atmospheric scientists tell us of cycles and weather patterns yet what we really need is a way to control it all.

It is quite conceivable that within the coming decade mankind will indeed figure out how to control the weather once and for all. Mastering the weather can only be done in the present period if we fully understand it. I therefore believe it is paramount to increase our studies and we need to be accelerating Atmospheric Research to Control Weather. If we do this now we can save billions by preventing crop failures, which could impact our growing of Ethanol for fuel and help us better feed the world. Consider the implications if we don’t and the possibilities if we do.
