Teat Tube Pedigree
This is a rough and simple de-
scription of the plastic process.
Actually, it is tremendously com-
plicated. In the original experi-
ments plastics are built up syn-
thetically, molecule by molecule, to
possess the same qualities as natur-
al products—stone, wood, metals.
More than that, their chemical sires
improve upon the natural subrtance
in lightness, strength and beauty
of color. They have a scientific
pedigree. These synthetic substi
tutes—“EYsatz” theyXcall them in
Germany—can be roughly divided
into four general types:
1. Vegetable Plastics: Cellulose,
made from powdered spruce or cot-
ton llnters, is their base. They are
