The report is 12 pages long, illustrated with detailed pictures of different kinds of combs. There is also a short description about how combs were made. The report is extracted from the CD-R about Combs (The CD is illustrated with about 100 detailed photos of different kinds of combs). The report is written by Associate Professor Dan Carlsson.
