Conversion. Hosiery factory. Built to ordnance specifications, this dye padder is used to apply a chemical (permalon) finish on mosquito netting. The permalon stiffens the netting and prevents shrinkage in it. The machine has been installed in an Eastern hosiery mill which is at present forty-percent converted to production of this netting for America's armed forces. Van Raalte Company
