BJ-4 Drawtwister at nylon pilot plant
- 1938-Jul-15
General view of the BJ-4 Drawtwister used during the early stages of nylon production and research at the DuPont pilot plant in Wilmington, Delaware. As part of the cold-drawing process, drawtwisters were used to stretch the nylon filaments following extrusion. The machine primarily consisted of draw rolls that ensured the filaments were stretched uniformly before being wound onto bobbins.
