Spinning Nylon: Part 2

The diagram below shows DuPont's original process of spinning Nylon. The method seems more like an extrusion process rather than spinning. The molten Nylon is forced out of the stainless steel block through tiny holes and gravity carries the filaments down to a bobbin. This bobbin with the spooled Nylon will then go to the cold drawing process.
