Edison filament
Carbonised bamboo in lamps — not structural CF.
碳纤维 did not arrive as a finished commodity. Edison carbon filament; Shindo/Watt 1960s PAN around Japan / UK / US still explains who makes it and which tests it sits in.
Ten dated points, five eras and three milestones below are the spine — not a complete industrial history.

Knowing this timeline is how to read a mill certificate without treating 碳纤维 as timeless.
