notes: label: Description
content: After World War I, hoping to use its nitrocellulose facilities for domestic and industrial (rather than military) production, Du Pont promoted pyralin, a nitrocellulose plastic akin to celluloid. In 1923, the firm gave several items “illustrating the use of Pyralin” to the Smithsonian. This item, showing the method of cutting sheets from a block of rolled Pyralin compound, is from that donation.
