A*out Electric Blankets and Comforters . .. new contributions to Better Living Â¥ OR many years the Public Service Company has helped to introduce many useful electrical appliances into Northern Illinois homes. Now we feel it is timely to inform the public of anâ€" other new use of electricity . . . electric blankets and comforters. Here are some facts about them. Electric blanket production during the war was restricted so that electrically heated flying suits could be manufactured for the Air Forces. In the development of these flying suits, a great amount of research and testing was done. Because of the extreme temperatures encounâ€" tered by the fiyers (as low as 60 degrees below zero) and the hard usage given the suits by the bomber crews, a fine, extremely flexible wire was needed. As a result, a wiring system was devaoped that was so sturdy it outlived the fabric.
