A scrim is a woven material, either finely woven lightweight fabric widely used in theatre, or a heavy, coarse woven material used for reinforcement in both building and canvasmaking.

If a light with a gobo is aimed at a scrim, the image will appear on the scrim, but also any objects behind the scrim will be lit by the pattern as well.

The illustrations provided below are to clear any confusion between the 1/4 inch "British Style" netting which was knotted, and the M44 and shrimp nets which were woven. There are distinct features in construction and shape to each of these types of nets making them identifyable upon close examination of photos.

The Report No.18: Camouflage Activities June 1942-May 1945 provides the following totals of helmet nets in the European Theater of Operations: About 17.4% of that number are American Camouflage Factory produced “Shrimp Nets” of which, based off of the information in the document, we can say with an extremely high degree of probability were all woven “Shrimp Nets”. That 17.4% is the bare minimum number of “Shrimp Nets” in theatre. During World War II the US Army Corps of Engineers, as camouflage has historically been their domain, procured a variety of helmet nets for US forces from American, British, and Commonwealth sources. The main types of helmet nets, include: 1/2”“Normandy Style” Helmet Net We have over a million object records online, and we are adding to this all the time. Our records are never finished. Sometimes we discover new information that changes what we know about an object, such as who made it or used it. Sometimes we change how an object is interpreted. We sometimes make mistakes in our spelling, transcription or categorisation, or miss information out of our records.

Read more about our collections and the information we hold. Developing our collections information The above list is by no means exhaustive. It is merely intended to show the great variance in styles of netting used by different units, even within the same theater of operations. An in depth analysis of each style net, its procurement, and use, will hopefully be the source of greater analysis and future scholarship. This article will focus on only one type - the “Shrimp Net”. However, we know from other sections of the report that the Camouflage Factories in the theater produced approximately 702,000 shrimp nets. Therefore, if we assume theater produced “Shrimp Nets” are a separate line item, it means that there are 4,025,200 maximum possible helmet nets in theatre. Buyers who make false age declarations are obtaining goods through deceit and will be subject to legal proceedings. though no doubt some blokes most proberly do it for 'allyness', I always thought it was for camouflage - though certain DS at SCBC think otherwise.
