CONT

The future for wool must also depends on development in the synthetic fibre field. I refer specifically to the newer man made fibres ... and the proteins fibres ardil and micara.

The skin on the nuts is removed and the proteins are isolated by dissolving nut-meal in diluted alkali. This solution is extruded into a coagulating bath containing a solution of sodium sulphate and hydrochloric acid, and the filaments collected. A subsequent process of hardening is necessary, in a bath containing a saturated saline solution and hydrochloric acid.
