Inspector in background certifies yarn for shipping, wraps it in cellophane and racks it on shipping buggy. The double check takes place as man in foreground examines schedule to compare it with customer's requirements.

It is being used in foundation garments, bathing suits and hosiery. A product of DuPont research, it required many years and an expenditure of more than $10 million to bring it from the test tube to the point where a decision was made to build a commercial plant.

This picture was taken as yarn buggies wait to be wheeled to the shipping area where the product will be speeded to DuPont customers. Large scale commercial production of Lycra began in 1962. Many years of research and an expenditure of more than $10 million were required to bring the product from the test tube to the point where a decision was made to commercialize the process. This new elastic fiber has a remarkable range of properties that make it ideal for use in bathing suits, foundation garments and support hose.
