It weighs over a ton, and contains enough nylon to make over 74,000 pairs...
Show moreMore than a quarter mile of eight inch nylon hawser, the first to be put into commercial use, was delivered to ocean going tug Margot Moran, a 1,200 horse-power unit of Moran Towing and Transportation Company fleet. The hawser is the largest ever manufactured by Plymouth Cordage Company, Plymouth, Massachusetts and has breaking point strength of more than 105,000 pounds, comparing favorably with larger manila hawsers. It weighs over a ton, and contains enough nylon to make over 74,000 pairs of stockings. Special factory conditioning represented several months of use at sea. The hawser is re-reeled at the factory, after a special process conditioned the line to an equivalent of several months at sea.

Title: What silicon can do
Date(s): 1953
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: This picture shows silicon and what researchers expect it to do. The pure element, in the form manufactured by DuPont, is below the ruler. Before it can be used it must be melted down to a solid mass, as at lower left and traces of other elements added. Then it is drawn into single crystals and formed into tiny wafers for diodes (top right) and transistors (the three center items). Transistors and diodes are expected to eliminate many relatively bulky vacuum tubes (left, above mass of silicon...
Show moreThis picture shows silicon and what researchers expect it to do. The pure element, in the form manufactured by DuPont, is below the ruler. Before it can be used it must be melted down to a solid mass, as at lower left and traces of other elements added. Then it is drawn into single crystals and formed into tiny wafers for diodes (top right) and transistors (the three center items). Transistors and diodes are expected to eliminate many relatively bulky vacuum tubes (left, above mass of silicon). Result will be more compact electronics equipment. Although smaller, the equipment will be more powerful and more accurate. All this means better and highly complicated electric 'brains', better radar, more company radios and improved televise with less power regiments among other things. Silicon is attractive in the electronics field because of its ability to withstand higher temperatures and to handle more power than other semi conductors. Since DuPont is not in the electronic business, the development of uses for silicon depends upon its evaluation by customers experience in this field. DuPont is continuing research on the production process.
