A 1913 article, translated from the French, on making artificial silk (rayon) as short loose fibers rather than continuous filaments, so it can be carded and spun like wool, cotton or flax or blended with other fibers. It describes several patented processes: Bloch's cuprammonium (Schweitzer reagent) method, Girard's winding of viscose filaments on bobbins and cutting them into staple, Girard and Buffard's metal-plate spinnerets, and Cahen's collodion-based filaments formed without pressure. Line drawings show the machinery and spinneret details. The scan ends with a short unrelated note on depression in the Scotch tweed industry.
