THE STORY OF ARTIFICIAL SILK of Artificial Silk filament are made every Seconp. This is equal to seven- miles of thread. Every spinning machine has 88 nozzles, and every nozzle has 20 pin-holes, through which the filaments are forced. There are also two other factories at Braintree and Wolver- hampton. As for the Courtaulds themselves, they are a historic family. They are descended from Augustine Courtauld—a fine old gentleman of France. He was a Huguenot. He fled to England to escape the wave of persecution that swept over France in 1685. The Courtauld family settled at Braintree. In 1800, George Courtauld started a little silk mill. It has never been pulled down. It can still be seen—a little old water-wheel mill that stands in the shadow of a new large factory. The Courtaulds are quiet, untitled people. They dislike publicity. All told, there are eighteen of them who hold shares in the company. They have become richer, I fancy, fay beyond either their dreams or their wishes. 7()
