Two pages from The Textile Mercury, 31 May 1890, mainly describing M. Vivier's process for making artificial silk from cotton or wood cellulose, with machinery drawings of the drum and carriage that winds the filament. The process covers nitrating cotton, treating it with acetic acid, gelatine and gutta-percha, and passing the filament through six chemical baths. Page 2 adds short notes on finishing cotton cloths (mangles, beetling, calender finishes), re-hardening of softened waters, and free acid in alumina sulphate.
