First part of a two-part article by consulting chemist H. Stadlinger comparing cellulose acetate rayon ('acetate silk') from several European makers. It first defends acetate against common criticisms (ironing, alkalies, strength) and lists its advantages: smoothness, luster, elasticity, water resistance, low specific gravity, dye affinity and sanitary properties. It then reports laboratory tests on samples from Belgian, British, French, German and Dutch producers, with tables of denier, twist, breaking strength, elasticity, gloss, fluorescence, dyeing, boiling behavior, acetic acid content, viscosity and oil coating, plus micrographs of fiber cross-sections.
