Does anyone know where I could find out when nylon (or synthetic) fishing
line was first produced, or when it was first used? I know that Nylon
dates from 1938 and nylons (ladies stockings) from 1939 but what about the
use of nylon in cable form?
Hope someone out there might have a clue for me or the name, and
address, of someone who might know.
many thanks
