Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1955 Title A name given to the resource Employment through nylon production Description An account of the resource An important outgrowth of an industrial development is new employment. Nylon has created, in the DuPont Company alone, more than 7,000 new jobs, many of which are in the sizing operation-a major step in the production of nylon yarn. This photo, at the Seaford, Delaware plant, shows protective coating of size being applied as yarn passes over rollers saturated with the mixture. Rollers revolve in the trough through which size is pumped. Sizing yarn is an old textile process, but a special solution has to be developed for nylon. It gives protection to tiny filaments during knitting or weaving. After sizing, yarn is stored in a controlled atmosphere for 36 hours to permit the solution to set. Knitters and weavers boil off the solution in the final manufacturing step.
