Abstract
This paper describes the machinery that was used in the early attempts to weave rayon fabrics. It traces the course of machine development, correlating this, as far as possible, with the development of the fabrics and synthetic fibers themselves.
Changes that were made in existing looms to enable rayon to be woven are described. Comparisons between the modern rayon loom and the old types that were used for weaving rayon are given. A description of the latest appliances for weaving rayon is included, as well as a discussion of the problems that are occupying the attention of the rayon-weaving industry and textile-machinery manufacturers at present.
