This film from E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company promotes several of their inventions by showing how they are made and (using actors and film sets) how useful they are in everyday life. Products include: Neoprene, Zelan, Nylon, Rayon and Lucite.

Note that this file was digitized from a VHS cassette tape in the Science History Institute's collections, but the original was undoubtedly recorded on 16mm film.
