CONICAL
TENT
The design
for this structure is taken from tents used in almost every area and era of
history. The conical shape is documented as having been used  from Sweden
to Italy
and can be seen in sketches of Henry VIII's camp and photos of the Zulu
campaign. Original references define the tent as a "single pole,
single canvas tent"-a true historical "one pole"! The French
Infantry in 1753 assigned these tents to eight men and Mr. Sibley was so
taken with them, that he modified the peak and put his own name on the
design.
The fascination for the style seems to be it's transportability and it's
lack of guy lines in a camp setting. The troops that were issued these tents
were expected to sleep with their feet to the center pole, lying like the
spokes of a wheel. While not affording a great deal of walk around space,
the entire floor was made useable.
 Improvements and modifications were made over
the years with the addition of walls and vents. The plus side of walls is
the added head room they contribute, the negative being the need for guy
lines and their space requirements. Vents were added to the peak area,
especially in the late 19th century tents used in Africa.
