A one-page French encyclopedia entry on artificial silk, as shown at the 1889 Exposition. It describes Count de Chardonnet's process: nitrating cotton or soft-wood pulp, spinning the collodion through capillary glass tubes, then denitrating the threads with dilute nitric acid to remove their explosive properties. It also gives the density, breaking load, elasticity, diameter range and dyeing of the resulting fiber.
