Research notes

File-level entry in the Lavoisier Library archival collection: "Chronology of ITP tufting (weaving), 1962 July 3". No scope note; "ITP" is not explained in the guide (perhaps a DuPont product or process name). Why it matters: a 1962 DuPont chronology of a tufting process could date developments in machine tufting or DuPont's role in it (Building the machine; Nylon). Tagged possible until the folder is seen. Found: Hagley finding aids, search "tufting", 2026-10-28.
