Show moreA recent development in the textile field that is growing in importance is Cordura rayon. This rayon yarn was made expressly for the manufacturing of cords for bus, truck and passenger car tires. Because of its high strength and its ability to maintain this high strength at elevated temperatures, bus and truck tires with a cord made of this rayon yarn give double and even triple the mileage obtained with ordinary tires, and what is more important, reduce the hazard associated with blowouts at high speeds. Of special interest, particularly at this time, is a recent statement issued by one of the Country's Air Transport Lines that they are adopting rayon as the materials for the tires of its fleet of airlines. Cordura rayon with its high strength enables the tire manufactures to build airplane tires anywhere from 10 to 20 pounds lighter than those formerly used. This saving in tire load means the airlines are able to increase their gasoline capacity or payload. It has also appeared in women's kitted underwear and men's hosiery and has also been used in making window curtains of the nylon type and also of an organdy type. It has appeared also in a marquisette dress fabric. Cordura rayon is made by the viscose process and was developed by DuPont chemists. This photograph taken at the Spruance plant of the Rayon Department of E.I du Pont Nemours & Company shows a check inspection of Cordura yarn which goes into tire manufacture.
