Second article in D. L. Pellatt's series on rayon staple fiber, from The Melliand, May 1930. It reviews the position of spun rayon in Lancashire and Yorkshire, where it is mixed with cotton or wool, and explains why staple fiber can be made more cheaply than continuous filament yarn. It then describes the viscose process step by step: wood cellulose, alkali cellulose, xanthation in churns, dissolving, blending and ripening. Five photographs of factory equipment illustrate the stages.
