This roving frame in the staple processing laboratory at DuPont's Kinston, North Carolina plant where Dacron polyester fiber is made, is spinning yarn from this fiber. The roving frame is the third step in spinning staple fiber into yarn and this...
Chicopee MA-Spring is here and hard on its heels is the season for baseball, Americas favorite sport. Already the factories that manufacture baseballs are busily turning out a supply to meet the demand. These photographs, made at the A.G. Spalding...
Nylon yarn is checked for weight. Samples of uniform length are taken from bobbins that come from the spinning machines and weighed to check the denier of the yarn, This is one of the steps in the DuPont Company's plants at Seaford, Delaware;...
DuPont's Kinston, North Carolina plant is one of two plants where Dacron polyester fiber is made. The other is located at Old Hickory Tennessee. Bothe Kinston and Old Hickory plants maintain a textile laboratory. The view here shows part of the...
