This is a black and white photograph showing a series of six images documenting a flammability test on two different types of flannelette garments. The images are arranged in a row, with three images for each type of flannelette. The title above the images reads "Demonstration Tests with Garments." Below the images, the types of flannelette are labeled as "Flannelette (Non-Flam Commercial)" and "Flannelette (Ordinary)". The first three images show a white flannelette garment being exposed to a flame. The first image shows the garment before the test, hanging from a hook. The second image shows the garment at 30 seconds, with a small flame visible near the bottom. The third image, at 120 seconds, shows the garment engulfed in flames, with significant burning and charring. The next three images show a similar test on an ordinary flannelette garment. The first image shows the garment before the test. The second image, at 30 seconds, shows a small flame near the bottom. The third image, at 60 seconds, shows the garment completely engulfed in flames, with a much more intense and widespread fire compared to the non-flam commercial flannelette. The fire is so intense that it appears to be consuming the entire garment rapidly. The images are taken in a simple, laboratory-like setting, with a plain background. The lighting is somewhat harsh, creating strong shadows. The overall impression is one of a scientific demonstration, intended to illustrate the flammability differences between the two types of flannelette.
