Many hard to get research papers concerning mail armour can now be found in PDF format at the webpage of the Mail Research Society.

Brilliant!

I've been looking all over for tips, manufacturing techniques, patterns, and overall articles on historical maille armour. This is a very welcome link.

Thanks for posting!

Thank you for posting the link to these excellent papers. Perhaps it is just me, but I had to download and save each one in order to view it. Adobe kept giving me an error if I tried to open them in the browser. Basically that the %pdf file descriptor was missing from the document header.

Its was not just you. I'm experiencing the same phenomena.

Adobe 9 pro says only that there isn't a language specification in the pdf, a common problems of many pdf creator, but I don't think it's the problem with the online viewer. If someone can't access them even after downloading just PM me and I can re-print them. This isn't the first time the internet plugins of adobe give me problems (I disabled it some times ago).

Anyway, a very good site for a mailmaker: thanks for the posting! (Now, if only I can return to study something for the next exam...)

After updating/upgrading your Acrobat Reader, the PDF files can be accessed without any problems.

Cheers,
