[NHCOLL-L:5307] RE: fire extinguisher

[Margaret Geiss-Mooney]

Good evening, NHCOLLers - What was the type of fire extinguisher (A, B, C or a combination)? And what kind of textiles (fibre type, physical condition, other media)?
Regards,

...a project regarding damages on textiles caused by fire extinguisher. Does anyone have any experience of damages or cleaning of foam or dry chemicals on Natural History objects?...
