    摘要: A method of manufacture of a product from a composite material is described, the method comprising winding a material (14) onto a mandrel (10), monitoring the material (14), as it is wound onto the mandrel (10), to ascertain at least one dimension of the material (14) being wound, and monitoring the mandrel (10) as the material (14) is wound thereon to ascertain the weight of the material (14) being wound, and controlling the winding of the material onto the mandrel (10) to take into account variations in the material (14) being wound using the at least one dimension and the weight values derived during the monitoring. An apparatus suitable for use in the method is also described.

    摘要: A support band (14) is described comprising a loop of a composite material, the loop including a curved region (20) that, in use, extends around part of a support (10), wherein the curved region (20) is of a curvature such that, at rest, voids are present between the band (14) and lateral parts of the support (10). When the support band (14) is used to support an object (12) from the support (10), the support band (14) needs bend to close the void before coming into contact with lateral parts of the support (10), whereby contact friction is avoided between the support band (14) and the support (10).
