Description

Although the sound of this interview has been lost we do know from the paperwork that it concerned a new Courthauld project. The company was engaged in the manufacture of fabrics, clothing and artificial fibres. We know that a rayon facility existed in Carrickfergus, which was designed specifically to make a fibre suitable for the Irish linen industry, so perhaps this announcement was connected to that.
