Harpcloth, Lockheed C130 parts

[donvai]

Has anyone know about "Harpcloth?"

I have a requirement for old (drawing dated 1955) Lockheed C130 parts made from Harpcloth. The drawing nomenclature are "G.F.E. MX-140/AP Harpcloth, spec NAVAER M-721" and "GFAE MX-2097U Harpcloth."

I've been around aircraft manufacturing since 1968 and can't recall "Harpcloth" nor can I find anyone who has heard of it.

The drawing is out of Lockheed, Marietta, Georgia.

Thanks,

This probably isn't that much help but....

'GFAE' probably is an abreviation for 'Government furnished Aerospace Equipment'.

'GFE' might be an abreviation for a company...
