Introductory article by D. L. Pellatt, the first in a planned series of five, on rayon staple fiber, which is rayon cut or made in cotton- or wool-like lengths and then spun into yarn. It compares rayon with cotton and wool for clothing and furnishing fabrics, covering luster, warmth and cleanliness. It briefly surveys the nitrocellulose, acetate, cuprammonium and viscose processes, explaining why viscose dominates staple production, and discusses cellulose raw materials such as wood pulp and cotton linters. It concludes that cotton spinning machinery, with minor changes, suits spun rayon yarns.
