Spinning room at nylon pilot plant
- 1938-Jul-15
General view of the second floor of the Spinning Room during the early stages of nylon production and research at the DuPont pilot plant in Wilmington, Delaware. Visible on the left-hand side of the photograph are steam pipes that were used to expose the newly-spun nylon yarn to moisture, which stabilized the fiber and allowed it be wound onto a bobbin.
