As woollen cloth is woven in different thicknesses the weight of 40 yards would vary according to that.
Tartan fabric for kilts could be as light as 10 oz per running yard of 54 inches width, up to 16 oz or even more. The 10 oz is normally only used for kilts used in competitions of Highland dancing where it will swing easily and enhance the movements of the dancers.
The 10 oz would weigh 25Lb, the 16 oz would be 40Lb plus the weight of what it was wound onto - usually it would be folded double with the right side of the cloth to the inside, and wound onto a flat board.
As wool can absorb water, modern standards require that the weight be given when at a particular moisture content. Do not carry bolts of woollen cloth in a rainstorm unless they are covered over, or they will become very much heavier. <G>

Why does the Blackwall Tunnel have bends in it?
Because the soil was too hard to bore through Because the tunnel was originally built between 1892 and 1897 where transport was primarily by horse, and horses do not like to be led down underground so when they used to see daylight at the end of the tunnel, they would typically bolt for the end, causing collisions with other riders. Therefore bends were added to the tunnel to avoid these situations. ............................................. Whilst the previous explanation sounds plausible, there is no mention of this in the 'design & construction' details. In 'British History Online', it says that "the proximity of the docks and the availability of suitable approaches dictated its slightly sinuous path".
For what reasons was World War 1 so destructive?
One reason was the advances made in weapons. Artillery had been dramatically improved over the previous forty years. Artillery used to be a line-of-sight weapon. It had to be up with the foot soldiers and the artillerymen had to see what they were shooting at. If they could see what they were shooting at, what they were shooting at could also see them, and shoot back. Now artillery was powerful and reliable. These new cannon could fire at, and hit, targets miles away. A forward observer with a field telephone could call back to correct their aim. There were new powerful explosives to fill the shells, and accurate, reliable fuses to explode the shells when they were supposed to explode. All this was new. Each side had vast numbers of cannon behind their lines, to pound the enemy. Every soldier now had a modern rifle. These were high powered weapons, with a range of up to a mile. They were extremely accurate, and lethal. A soldier had to work the bolt to reload after each shot, but a trained man in the British Army could fire 120 shots, aimed shots, per minute - two every second. Mostly they did not shoot that fast, but they could if they had to. In the earlier wars, such as the Napoleonic Wars or the American Civil War, a trained man did well to get off three shots per minute. The range of the old weapons was less. The old weapons fired black powder, and soon put a thick cloud over the battlefield, and it was hard to see anything to shoot at through the smoke. The new rifles used "smokeless" powder. And, the new weapons were rifles, not muskets. This meant they were far more accurate and had a much greater range. Machine guns had been invented. These allowed defenders to mow down attacking troops in rows. There was all this new weaponry, but the generals were old. Military thinking tends to be conservative - the innovators get in lots of trouble. If it was good enough for Napoleon, by God, its good enough for me. So the tactics the generals tried were the old ones, and got men slaughtered by the hundreds of thousands, when they went running at the enemy, who had accurate rifles, and machine guns. The WWI generals never learned. Because both sides had these types of weapons, the defense was strongest. Thus, neither side could break through the enemy lines in any big way. But the generals kept trying, because they could think of nothing better to try.

On rune scape how do you make cloth?
I am assuming that you are asking how to obtain the item a bolt of cloth. You cannot make this item, the only way you can obtain this item is to buy it from a lumberyard or another player.Another variant of cloth "strip of cloth" can be made by players with level 10 crafting. To make one strip of cloth, you require four balls of wool and access to a loom weaver. However, this item cannot be used in any way in construction, nor will it function in the same was as a bolt of cloth; its only uses include quests and one of the God Emissary tasks.

What are kimonos made of?
As the traditional textiles of Japan were made primarily for personal attire, what we know today as the kimono determined not only the construction of the weaves and the patterning of the fabric but also the width of the cloth itself. A single bolt, or "tan", of cloth measures approximately 9 meters in length and 30 centimeters in width. This is sufficient to make one kimono, whether for men or for women regardless of height and weight. Thus kimono fabrics as a rule are sold by the bolt and rarely by the meter.
