Okay, remember I'm not a "cloth guy" (as Doug calls 'em) per se, so forgive me if I don't understand the use of the words "line" and "non-line." I take it that the "Nakimov star" was a step above the "conventional general stars."
My question is two fold: what are line generals and what separates them from conventional generals (other than the threads - pun intended ;))? The answer to the first part may well answer the second.
