Description | Photographs show processing silk and nylon hose, collected through salvage stations in retail stores; nylons to be used for parachutes, tow ropes for glider planes and other war material, while silk stockings are used to make powder bags for big guns. After cotton parts are removed, stockings are fed into a picking tender which shreds the material; it is then bleached and spun into thread; spools are shipped to weaving mills. Big guns that use powder bags made from discarded silk stockings. |
