Mail*LinkŪ SMTP Metal straps
In the course of excavating out a well last weekend a huge pile of metal
straps were uncovered. These are thin metal about 2cm or 1/2 an inch wide and
used for straping crates, boxes and straping machinery to pallets. They are
now being replaced with plastic straps.
Does any one out there either know 1) when they were introduced or 2) how I
could find out when they were introduced.
I was wondering whether there was a Society for Packaging History or some
similar organisation (possibly in the UK), does anyone recall any such beast.
